I came across the British Pathe site which hosts some truly remarkable old movie clips on an amazing range of subjects. For example, he's some footage of the 1969 Wimbledon Finals:

But since this blog is now almost completely dedicated to bikes, here's a clip about a 6 day team bicycle race held in Madison Square Garden in 1928:
