1962 Tour de France

It would not be at all strange if history came to the conclusion that the perfection of the bicycle was the greatest achievement of the nineteenth century.

thanks for posting those hamster, a few things stood out for me, no helmets on the cyclists or motor
bike riders/ passengers.
the riders stopping to "liberate" some goodies.
the mention of doping.
the lovely bikes
the always fascinating scenery and locals
the weird collection of vehicles
thanks again

Thanks for posting that, hamster. Beautiful steelies indeed. Favourite bit had to be the 'drinks raid'. What a contrast to today's corporate/orchestrated affair.
My eye was caught by Cancellara's Descent in the thumbnails at the end, for anyone into watching descents. A contemporary vid though. I swear I was leaning in the chair as he took the bends. Now why didn't they do something like that in Cinerama in 1962?

Well, no, it's not a pushbike, otherwise I'd be pushing it...

Do you think the 'doped rider comes to a standstill and falls off bike' stuff is real, or staged?
Also in the sidebar, 1977 Alpe d'Huez stage. Heartbreak for Van Impe! Worth watching if you like seeing exhausted Belgians slapping massive gears up the Alpe. And check out how wide the finishing strait is.
