Le Tour de France


Some of us like to think about things. 
Qu'est-ce que c'est un vélo?

Thinks : Must the front wheel always win, in relation to the rear? What colour is the maillot jaune, the yellow jersey, really? Is it not an anachronism that a Republic honours the King of the Mountains? Is the brain a binary cycler-ist? And it's rider?

Some of us simply like to go along for the ride.

Today on the Champs-Élysées and tonight here on late night winter TV another great Tour de France will conclude. Winner of the mailllot jaune for 2014 is likely to be Vincenzo Nibali of Italy. Vive le Tour!
