Geez, I hadn’t thought about this since the 80’s when I ran a shop.

Prior to the internet, we’d call the French Embassy and get the latest TDF results and post them in the window.

Man, the ‘80s were the heyday for bike racing in the US.

Alexi Grewal on his Pinarello in the Olympics
John Howard’s land speed record
Lon Haldeman and Race Across America
Greg LeMond and the Tour

I was doing USCF Category 4 racing in my Cinelli leather hairnet helmet - big stuff!

I still have my “helmet”!
