Videos and articles about Paris-Brest-Paris
Harriet Fell, owner of this site, was one of the first Americans to finish the iconic 1200km Paris-Brest-Paris ride, and was one ammong several people to give talks about PBP at an event run by the Charles River Wheelers bicycle club in February, 2019.
Here is a video of her talk. You may click on the link to YouTube in the video to view it in HD resolution and with closed captions. (We are still looking for someone to clean up the Google translation into French…interested?)
Several other people also spoke at the February event. We have a new page linking to all the videos and to our articles about PBP.

Band brakes
A band brake, common in Japan and occasionally seen in the USA, is an inside-out drum brake. Instead of brake shoes which press outward against the inside of a brake drum, a band brake has a flexible band which wraps around the outside of the drum. A band brake is easy to install and adjust, and we show how. While a band brake can be very effective for flatland cycling, it is not good for downhills and should never be used on a front wheel. Read why in our new article.
