Dans la France de la fin des années d’après-guerre et du début des Trente Glorieuses, il a joui d’une très grande popularité. Bobet est aussi le champion breton d’une France centralisée qui s’essaie à la régionalisation et d’une province qui se modernise à grands tours de roue. Ses origines familiales sont typiques de cette époque de l’histoire du sport et elles jouèrent un rôle non négligeable dans la construction de son image et de sa popularité.

  • REGARDS CROISÉS D’Autres Facettes Du Tour De France
    REGARDS CROISÉS D’autres facettes du Tour de France Le dopage dans le Tour de France Le dopage, « c’est l’utilisation, par des sportifs compétiteurs, de substances ou de méthodes interdites, figurant sur une liste établie chaque année par l’agence mondiale anti-dopage » (Code du sport, AMA). Si la popularité du Tour de France est inoxydable, c’est pourtant l’épreuve où les scandales de dopage sont les plus fréquents et médiatiques. Regard croisé sur cette sombre face de la Grande Boucle. Bar (Charlie Hebdo, 25/06/2013) Un contexte favorable En premier lieu, si le dopage n’est pas l’apanage du monde sportif, il faut souligner que la compétition est un domaine qui pousse fortement à la triche. C’est notamment le cas du Tour de France ; qui par sa forte médiatisation et ses enjeux financiers très importants, offre un contexte incitant à la triche. De plus, la dimension très énergétique de l’effort (endurance) facilite le ciblage des produits. Une longue tradition ponctuée d’affaires Il n’est pas choquant d’évoquer la culture du dopage dans le monde du cyclisme, et donc naturellement sur le Tour de France. Car dès le début du XXe siècle, les coureurs consommaient de la strychnine, qui était pourtant un poison assez redoutable. De la même façon, des mélanges à base d’arsenic pour lutter contre la douleur étaient utilisés. En 1924, dans le célèbre livre intitulé « Les forçats de la route », le journaliste Albert Londres dévoile ainsi les pratiques dopantes des coureurs du Tour de France. Les frères Pélissier, qui décrivent leur abandon, racontent ainsi : « Voulez-vous voir comment nous marchons ? [...] Ça, c’est de la cocaïne pour les yeux, ça c’est du chloroforme pour les gencives… ».

  • Writing the Bicycle
    Writing the Bicycle: Women, Rhetoric, and Technology in Late Nineteenth-Century America Sarah Overbaugh Hallenbeck A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Jane Danielewicz Jordynn Jack Daniel Anderson Jane Thrailkill Beverly Taylor ABSTRACT Sarah Overbaugh Hallenbeck Writing the Bicycle: Women, Rhetoric, and Technology in Late Nineteenth-Century America (Under the direction of Jane Danielewicz and Jordynn Jack) This project examines the intersections among rhetoric, gender, and technology, examining in particular the ways that American women appropriated the new technology of the bicycle at the turn of the twentieth century. It asks: how are technologies shaped by discourse that emanates both from within and beyond professional boundaries? In what ways do technologies, in turn, reshape the social networks in which they emerge—making available new arguments and rendering others less persuasive? And to what extent are these arguments furthered by the changed conditions of embodiment and materiality that new technologies often initiate? Writing the Bicycle: Women, Rhetoric and Technology in Late Nineteenth- Century America addresses these questions by considering how women’s interactions with the bicycle allowed them to make new claims about their minds and bodies, and transformed the gender order in the process. The introduction, “Rhetoric, Gender, Technology,” provides an overview of the three broad conversations to which the project primarily contributes: science and technology studies, feminist historiography, and rhetorical theory. In addition, it outlines a “techno-feminist” materialist methodology that emphasizes the material ii and rhetorical agency of users in shaping technologies beyond their initial design and distribution phases.

  • Michelin, La Leçon De Choses Janvier 2017 4 Tristan De La Broise
    Tristan de la Broise MICHELIN La leçon de choses 1832-2012 Michelin, la leçon de choses Janvier 2017 4 Tristan de la Broise De l’invention de la roue à celle du pneu, combien de temps s’est-il écoulé ? Pourquoi une découverte aussi importante a-t-elle autant tardé ? Certains affirment – pas seulement chez Michelin – que sans le pneu, il n’y aurait pas eu de bicyclette ni d’automobile. Ou alors, si peu. Et roulant si mal. C’est une histoire déconcertante. En effet, quoi de plus élémentaire qu’un pneu ? Mais le génie de Michelin est d’en avoir fait, dans sa poursuite de l’excellence, un produit de haute technologie, aussi complexe dans sa conception, dans ses constituants et dans sa réalisation que simple dans son utilisation. À l’inverse d’autres industries, qui banalisent les appareils les plus compliqués, Michelin s’est ingéniée à rendre le pneu toujours plus performant, plus sophistiqué. « Si le pneu ne vous passionne pas, vous n’avez rien à faire dans cette Maison » assure Marius Mignol, génial inventeur du Radial au jeune François Michelin lorsqu’il entre à la Manufacture en 1955. La passion, c’est celle de la recherche, de l’innovation. C’est celle que partagent les dirigeants, les ingénieurs, tout le personnel. Le fruit en est le pneu X dont les nombreuses déclinaisons hissent en un demi-siècle l’entreprise auvergnate au rang des leaders mondiaux. Un demi- siècle supplémentaire de course pour l’immortel Bibendum qui double ainsi sa durée de vie tout en rajeunissant sa silhouette, défiant et séduisant tous les publicitaires de la planète.

  • L'épopée Fantastique
    L’épopée fantastique 1820-1920, cycles et motos 8 avril - 25 juillet 2016 Musée national de la Voiture du Palais de Compiègne www.musees-palaisdecompiegne.fr Suriray, Vélocipède de course, 1869. ©RMNGP/Tony Querrec La collection de cycles du musée national de la Voiture compte, pour les années 1818-1920, parmi les plus remarquables d’Europe. Une importante acquisition réalisée en 2015 a permis de notablement l’enrichir et se trouve présentée au public à cette occasion. L’exposition L’Epopée fantastique est organisée autour de différentes thématiques comme les innovations techniques, la recherche de vitesse, les loisirs, les courses, les clubs et la pratique cycliste, ainsi que les impacts sociaux liés au développement des deux-roues entre 1820 et 1920. Des emprunts à d’autres musées français comme le musée Auto Moto de Chatellerault et le musée d’Art et d’Industrie de Saint Etienne, ainsi qu’à des collections privées viennent compléter cette première sélection. C’est à l’occasion du 125e anniversaire de la course Paris-Roubaix, dont le départ a lieu à Compiègne depuis presque quarante ans, que l’exposition sera ouverte au public. On pourra y découvrir les origines du cycle et de la moto et l’extraordinaire émulation qui animait les fabricants, les coureurs, les cyclistes et motards de ces années d’expérimentations et d’exploration qui sont synonymes de nouvelles sensations. L’exposition s’articule autour de quatre axes principaux : 1. Les années 1820-1860 : de la draisienne au vélocipède. Né de la draisienne, inventée par le baron allemand Karl Drais, le vélocipède est issu de la mise en place d’un pédalier sur la roue avant, innovation attribuée au français Pierre Michaux en 1861.

  • The History of Cycling
    The History of Cycling 1493 A student of Leonardo Da Vinci sketched an idea for a bicycle. 1817 Drais running machine, the 'Draisine'. It was also called the 'hobby horse' because it competed with horses for transport. It was popular in Europe and North America and didn't have any pedals. Instead the riders pushed against the ground with their feet to move along. 1860s The French velocipede was also called 'bone shaker', because it had such hard wooden wheels and was rough to ride on old roads and cobblestones. There was a major breakthrough when pedals were added to the front wheel of a running machine. Again, the 'bone shaker' was a huge craze in Europe and North America, where special schools were set up to teach people how to ride. 1870s The British penny farthing was named because it looked like two British coins, the large penny in front and the small farthing behind. The penny farthing used several new inventions to make it much better than the bone shaker. They used tubular steel frames that were light, strong and cheap. The wheels and pedals had ball bearings that allowed them to spin smoothly and lasted a long time. Wheels had previously used wooden spokes which were much stronger and heavier than needed. On the penny farthing they used wire spokes, which were a major breakthrough as the wheels were not only much lighter, but were also able to be repaired easily. Adding solid rubber tyres to the outside of the wheel gave the wheels more grip and made the ride smoother by absorbing some of the bumps.
