Well, I haven't been on a bicycle since falling off one years ago and breaking my wrist. But I have heard of the Tour de France; just don't know a lot about it.
It is one of the most famous bicycle races in the world that takes place every year mostly in France but it also crosses into neighboring countries.
Hmm, I thought it was only in France. When did the race first take place?
The first race was organized in 1903 to increase newspaper sales of all things.  But it has grown quite a bit since then.
