Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cool photos. Those 1985 photos look ancient. I guess the Black and White format adds to the vintage look.

I love the 1982 one where iooks like the cyclists have just tossed their bikes on the ground before sitting down next to them.

Interesting, though not very a broad sample of tour years.
