 Coming back from my stint in Finland and Estonia, and wading through streams of press releases and emails, I found several photos of Tour de France cyclists on motorcycles. Having seen the tribulations these cyclists go through when riding their bicycles in the mountains, I too would prefer to ride a motorcycle. BTW, for those of you who don't know anything about the Tour de France , the first photo is that of Frank Schleck , who ended up third in this year's TdF.
