EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Paul de Vivie, also known as Velocio, a pioneering figure in the world of cycling and publishing. Born in 1853, de Vivie was an early champion of the derailleur gearing system, revolutionizing the way bicycles were ridden and making long-distance touring and randonneuring accessible to a wider audience. De Vivie's influence extended beyond the technical aspects of cycling. He was a father figure to the French cycling community and the publisher of the influential magazine, Le Cycliste. The publication, which began in 1892, was a hub for cycling enthusiasts, providing news, advice, and inspiration for riders across France and beyond. The image of de Vivie, taken circa 1920, shows him in his element, dressed in cycling attire and holding a bicycle. The derailleur gearing system, which allowed cyclists to change gears while pedaling, is visible on the bike, a testament to de Vivie's groundbreaking work. De Vivie's legacy continues to resonate in the cycling world, and his contributions to the sport and to publishing are still celebrated today. This photograph is a reminder of a time when cycling was not just a means of transportation, but a passion and a way of life. It also serves as a tribute to a man who dedicated his life to making cycling accessible and enjoyable for all.
