Cycling with postcards

Cycling was usual in 1900, but not only usual cycles were shown on postcards. The Jacowlew brothers and their extended tamdem, or the Comte of Puiseux and his Flying Bicycle are among the famous postcards.

Many postcards were also published at each stage of Tour de France to celebrate and tell the story of this famous race.
