Page 8 and many following pages contain French newsreels and videos from the 1920's and onward. Lots of great stuff, most of it related to the Tour de France, but some footage of other races too. I know that a link to the INA archives has been posted before on the CR list, but it's worth posting again.

Readers of Bicycle Quarterly will be interested to see "Course des porteurs de journaux au Palais de Chaillot" (1930 newspaper carrier race) and "Course de remorque cycliste sur la butte a Montmarte" (1940 race with trailers).
