Cycling/ Prehistory/ Medicine/ Fundamentals/ Bordeaux/ Women's cycling/ Competition/ Ariege/ Jiel-Laval/ Pau Beneath its attractive pink publisher's binding with detailed title and second edition notice, this good-looking work gives only a hint of the richness of its contents, as Dr. Philippe Tissié, who signs it, gives us in 404 pages the detail and synthesis of everything we need to know about this new pedaling world. All current medical theories are covered, not forgetting the nervous system and locomotion. The training section for both endurance and speed is a gem. The Véloce club Bordelais and its champion Jiel-Laval (Paris-Brest, 93,000 km) are the pillars of this extraordinary study. The incidents are fabulous (the velocipede for opera singers, the velocipede and the sewing machine, etc.)... This second edition, in which the contributions of coffee, mate, Coke and Kola are no more forgotten than the opponents of velocipedy, is an irreplaceable bedside book. Slight final repair, but a superb copy. Originally from Ariege, Dr. Tissié, a friend of Baron de Coubertin, produced most of his work in Bordeaux and Pau. 16.5 x 10.5 cm
