I love it when my job and my passion come together. In today's archive work, two bits of #IrishCycling history.
The Tour of the North from 1959 or 1960, going through maybe Downpatrick? And An Rás from 1960 (the notes aren't clear).
You can see both films here:

I genuinely don't think I've ever seen people who hate cyclists as much as Irish drivers. It was even better in Los Angeles of all places.

(Not a cyclist myself because I'm not into dealing with that level of loathing and aggression from other road users just to get from point A to B.)
