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

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)

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? Schwede66 17:56, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

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.

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)

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)
