Wasn't Jiel-Laval riding solid rubber tires in 1891? AHands 17:25, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are actually (since the mid 70s) two PBPs... There is the one we all know and love and then there is the Audax form that is run every 5 years.

The french wiki site has PBP which has a Voir aussi section listing a PBP-Randonneuring and a PBP-AUDAX to distinguish between the two forms...

This (english) site does not discuss the AUDAX section. Prestonjb 06:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Type of race

The fastest finishing time ever was just under 39 hours. So how can this event be classed a "One-day race" in the infobox? Schwede 66 17:56, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not oldest - Westral Wheelrace in Western Australia first run in 1887 in Coolgardie. Still run today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.150.54.43 (talk) 15:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC) Also the Austral Wheelrace, first held at the MCG in 1887 is held every year as well. So take your pick.[reply]

Recumbents

Is this the PBP that people mention on recumbent bike forums? If so then I think there should be mention of the fact that recumbents can take part. Forgive me if their PBP is completely different. I see no recumbents in the linked video documentary . But there are photos of recumbents on the race page. --Timtak (talk) 03:11, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One and and the same. I was a DNF on the 2007 event on an HP-Velotechnik Speedmachine. You can ride anything you like as long as it's solely human-powered and passes the pre-event inspection. Mr Larrington (talk) 13:20, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
