Re: Tour de France - British triumph in Paris.

My dad was a keen amateur racing cyclist in the 30s.

It was more popular then than it is now.

He won two silver and one gold medal in races from Burnley to Blackpool.

Those were the days when your bike was a standard heavy frame and you had to cycle from home to the race start.

PS and cycle home afterwards!
