Some great vintage #bikep0rn in this short doco, including the Gossamer Condor, the world's first human powered aircraft, and some #Bike speed record attempts. Also a bit of Bernard Hinault #TDF footage.
Not sure what the point of the documentary is, but it reminds me of the reels of 16mm the teachers would put on for the class when they really needed a cigarette, back in the day.

So today I find out that next year’s Tour de France will be the final one that ITV will be able to broadcast in the UK because Warner Bros/Discovery+ has the exclusive European licence from 2026-2030.

And now I read that this week’s episode of Open Book on BBC Radio 4 will be the final one ever, after 25 years.

🇬🇧 #tdff2024 #tdf #railhistory Last stage today! Speaking about ends, we're passing the terminal station of the line from Jarrie to Bourg-d'Oisans (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_de). Opened in 1849 as metre gauge line by the VFD, passenger traffic was replaced by buses in 1946, operated to this day by the VFD.
The line remained open for freight longer, up to Vizille there was three-railed track, and normal-gauge trains ran here until 2009. Traces of the metre gauge can be seen today (see photo's 🇳🇱 ⬆️ )

🇳🇱 (🇬🇧👇) #tdff2024 #tdf #railhistory Laatste etappe van de Tour de France Femmes vandaag. We komen ook langs het eindpunt van de lijn van Jarrie naar Bourg-d'Oisans (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_de). In 1894 geopend als metersporige lijn van de VFD, maar in 1946 verbust, vandaag nog steeds door de VFD uitgevoerd. Voor goederen heeft de lijn het langer uitgehouden - tot Vizille is de lijn zelfs drierailig geweest, en tot 2009 hebben hier treinen gereden. Maar ook het meterspoor is her en der nog te zien.
