Tomorrow is Holocaust Memorial Day. As someone who has visited Auschwitz twice, I am remembering all those who lost their lives or suffered as a result of Nazi oppression. We have an obligation to say never again.

Tomorrow is the 118th Rene Pottier's death. Winner of the 1906 Tour, Pottier mysteriously took his own life in the garage where he stored his bicycles. It's an intriguing tale and was subject to lurid detail in L'Auto.

The 1948 Raleigh Record Ace was a handmade beauty. But at nearly £40 it was a costly purchase when average wages were approximately £5 per week. Allowing for inflation, that's £1230 today.
