Tour de France History

I used to be quite a bicyclist myself, so I keep at least a peripheral track of the biggest bicycle race on the planet, the Tour de France.

The race has quite a history, and Lance Armstrong has done us proud in winning several times in recent years.

Here’s a rare thing, though. I have found a rare color picture of the 1940 Tour de France:

  1. That’s funny right there…….notice the lack of the yellow jersey. Ever wonder why the French picked that color for the leader??

  2. Lordy, help me… a bicyclist? I’m stunned, and here you been leading us on with all the macho gun stuff, war stories….
    Knock me over with a feather, I’d never have thought it…
    LOL, just kidding!!
    Actually, I haven’t ridden a bicycle since I obtained a drivers license… well maybe before that, the actual license wasn’t a hinderance. :)
