Peter Taylor has a collection of vintage cycles. He is a postman and repairs bikes but has a collection of period bikes. I am a fan of Tour de France and other grand tours but I have only followed this sport for the last 15 years. The big surprise of this exhibition was how ordinary the bikes are. If you have stood by a TDF bike of recent years you know you are in the presence of some remarkable technologies. The idea however of riding any of the bikes on display up the courses of the TDF mountains seems even more daunting but a Museum’s job is to introduce us to what happened in the past.
Some pics below and some gallery material.
