What a delightful film. I really enjoyed the dramatic reenactments of the draisine and velocipede. Also Bill and Billy educating Mr. Ward on those modern bicycles they were riding. I love being reminded that these beautifully simple machines have remained largely unchanged for decades.
The film made me think of something I heard watching NBC's coverage of Le Tour the other day. One of the American former pro commentators said something along the lines of "the peloton has figured out that wider tires are actually faster," in sort of a geez whiz, breaking news, can you believe how far racing has pushed bike tech kinda way. The commentators also discussed getting dropped recently and thinking they sucked due to riding a 10 year old race bike without wireless shifting, but realizing it was only the tech holding them back. Whew! Marginal gains? Woops, I digress... Nice quick watch, thanks for the share!
