  • The Human Motor: Hubert Opperman and Endurance Cycling in Interwar
    The Human Motor: Hubert Opperman and Endurance Cycling in Interwar Australia DANIEL OAKMAN During the late 1920s and 1930s, Hubert ‘Oppy’ Opperman (1904–1996) rose to prominence as the greatest endurance cyclist of the period. After success in Europe, Opperman spent a decade setting a slew of transcontinental and intercity cycling records. This article explores how Opperman attained his celebrity status and why his feats of endurance resonated powerfully with the Australian public. More than a mere distraction in the economic turmoil of the Depression, Opperman’s significance can be explained within the context of broader concerns about modernity, national capacity, efficiency and race patriotism. This article also argues that for a nation insecure about its physical and moral condition, Opperman fostered new understandings of athleticism, masculinity and the capacity of white Australians to thrive in a vast and sparsely populated continent. On the morning of 5 November 1937, the Mayor of Fremantle, Frank Gibson, gently lowered the rear wheel of Hubert Opperman’s bicycle into the Indian Ocean, signalling the start of the famed endurance cyclist’s attempt on the transcontinental cycling record, a distance of some 2,700 miles that he hoped to cover in less than eighteen days.1 Thousands had turned out to see the champion cyclist and he rode leisurely, so that they each might catch a glimpse of his new machine.2 Fascination with the record attempt had been building for weeks. The Melbourne Argus printed a picture of Opperman’s ‘million revolution legs’ on the front page and estimated that with an average pedal pressure of twenty-five pounds, he would need to exert over 1 22,234 tons to cover the distance.3 For the next two weeks, newspaper and radio broadcasts reported on every aspect of the ride, including his gear selection, diet, clothing, sleeping regimes and daily mileages.
