A remarkable photograph of cycling way back in the days before superlight bikes, streamlined clothing, doping and pretty girl masseuses to ease away your aches and pains. These two guys look like they're dressed in their Sunday best and it appears that they have forgot to pack their isotonic refreshments (guess a half-way fag and a beer will do). Tough guys in (what was then) a tough sport.

The Old Portlians Cycling Club is still going strong and this is their website.
