I had to share this with you all:
"De Vivie imported machines from England. In 1889 he made a bike of his own, called La Gauloise. It had a diamond frame, chain and a single gear. De Vivie was riding the col de la République (10km south east of St Etienne) in 1889 when one of his readers overtook him - smoking a pipe. "
That made me laugh this morning 😆

that said the "Death and memorial" section is very sad:
Death follows me and life escapes me. When I go to sleep, I think that I may never awake. When I wake up, I think that I may never get to sleep. When I go out, I think that I may never come back.
what a poignant way to go 🙁
