Struggling with waking this morning and listening to the rain, I became convinced of something in that half-awake way and then could not get it out of my head as I tossed and turned: I was utterly sure that the Tour de France was all done on fixed gear bikes and that, indeed, the Tour dudes were the greatest supermen ever, etc. I think this is because of the preponderance of Beardie Hipsters in our neighborhood, on fixed-gear bicycles with skinny jeans (11 years too late).Anyway, by the time I had a shower, I realized I was crazy and that there indeed 10 gears on TdF bikes. Did not know that the bikes must weigh at least 14.4 lbs, however, until I checked.
ANYway, it's over now.
