I love going to the bar and eventually everyone around me is like "what is this", "what are we watching" "is anyone here actually watching this?", but after a while they can't stop watching. That's me doing my part advocating the advancement of cycling in America.

France? I like their fries and some of their wine. Other than that, I can't think of anything good to come from there. I went to Paris once when I was stationed in Germany. It smelled bad.

Wait, the Tour Day France isn't a bicycle race is it? Who the heck would be interested in danged ole' bicycle race?

are you asking me?
I thought the tour de france was open to any tourist with a bicycle. Today they are visiting Normandy...one of the sites of the D-day invasion...oh how I wish I were there...I'm going to ride the tour next year...on a segway though...
