Up until 1937, the fixed wheel was the only bicycle permitted to be ridden in the Tour de France. This was because of a rule enacted by Henri Desgrange, who was somewhat of a purist. Of course, after 1937 derailleurs were allowed and here we are today. This may be common knowledge, but this photo needed a bit of a backstory. Really awesome shot!

Quotation read in the London tube: “There is more in life than increasing its speed” (Mathma Gandhi). I thought that you could profitably change it this way: “There is more in a bike than increasing its speed”.
Deludente visita all’Albert & Victoria Museum di Londra: moda e design degli ultimi 4 secoli, ma neanche una bicicletta.
Disappointing tour at the Victoria & Albert Museum of London: fashion and design from the last four centuries, but not even a bicycle.
But where is it Jos "Da Boss" van Veldhoven, owner of Tour de Ville, the shop that opened a year and a half ago in Hackney, 50 Lamb's Lane north east London? Now the place is closed and abandoned and, if I knew it, I could have saved over an hour to go and another to come back by tubes and buses. What a pity. Who has got recent news please give us some piece of informations.
