actually, no, cause the "founder" of rando, in many ways, velocio, 
was an earyl proponent of them, and the "cyclotouristes" and 
"touriste-routiers" of french cycling adopted them as early as they 
were available :)

it was racers who waited until the 40s to "reinvent" that which was 
already available to them :)
