SYNOPSIS

My grandfather manufactured bicycles. When my mother was born, he put her on a bike at a very early age, and as soon as she was a teenager, she took part in the “Cycle Social Days” that my grandfather organized at great expense at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris to promote his brand. I found photos and films from that time, on the back of photos of my mother's bike rides, names, first names, those of the factory workers are also there, my mother, a young communist, took them with her, as a challenge to her father... They are all filmed in the “1949 Cycle Day,” the reel of which I just found. “All” of them, really? LR Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
