Here’s an interesting 1955 film (two parts) on a British cycling club taking a day tour in the English countryside.
Part One
Part Two
I like how the narrator points out that many people, “especially cyclists,” eat lots of food during such an excursion. I can relate to that!
While the film’s cyclists (and their bikes) are different than today’s spandex-clad road warriors, the enjoyment both groups share transcends time.
