Denton Bike Races - REALLY Old School
Here are two Denton bicycle race recaps from the 1890's that are posted on our library blog. The archivist here is an avid cyclist and always forwards me the great stuff she finds. You'll have to scroll down the blog for the earlier article. http://dentonlibrary.wordpress.com/

That is good stuff.... I could use a pair of $6 bicycle pants. It sounds like AP was around then to write the recaps.
