EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Paris-Brest Race, a legendary cycling event first held in 1891 and still going strong in 1921. The Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP) is one of the oldest and most prestigious long-distance cycling events in the world. The race, which takes its name from the two cities it connects - Paris and Brest in Brittany, France - is a test of endurance and skill for cyclists from around the world. In this image, a group of determined riders can be seen making their way through a quaint French village, their faces etched with concentration and focus. The bicycles they ride, with their large, padded seats and high handlebars, are a testament to the era in which this photograph was taken. The riders wear simple yet practical clothing, consisting of high-waisted shorts and long-sleeved shirts, designed to protect them from the elements as they cover great distances. The Paris-Brest Race was originally conceived as a way to test the capabilities of bicycles and their riders, and to promote the use of the bicycle as a reliable means of transport. Over the years, it has evolved into a cherished tradition, attracting cycling enthusiasts from all corners of the globe. The race, which covers a distance of approximately 1,200 kilometers (746 miles), is still held every four years, with riders setting out from Paris and making their way to Brest and back. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of the Paris-Brest Race and the enduring spirit of the cyclists who continue to participate in this iconic event. It is a testament to the human will to push boundaries and to the power of the bicycle as a symbol of freedom and adventure.
