I visited Paris over the weekend to see the final stage of the Tour de France. The general classification was set, only the sprinter-teams were expected to deliver some action to get the last points for the green jersey. But it was great to feel the atmosphere and see the racers on site. As you might notice, I didn’t get a spot right at the front at Champs-Elysées. That’s what happens, when you don’t bring your camp-chair and a filled cooling box. Nevertheless I saw the pack riding by and experienced how much and how little 39 seconds actually are, in some way.

Two hours before the riders turn into the street, a whole parade of sponsoring vehicles are making their appearance.

The Livestrong chalk bot.

Eight times up and down Champs-Elysées over cobble stone before the “grande boucle” is over.

I think we’ve seen this before. Looks halfway similar to last year’s winners.

Let’s see what 2011 will bring!

The one and only Wälde Le Mech

Now and then a ride is even more satisfying than usually. This time our route included hills, forest, a lake circuit and long flat roads, a diverse ride overall. Combined with ideal weather and a superb meal at Rössli afterwards, it was particularly nice trip!

Feels good to actually have some space for riding once in a while.

Waiting for the train, remember the same scene at this years Tour de Suisse?

…at the velodrome.

As mentioned before, every tuesday evening you can catch a glimpse of track racing and back in the days sports culture!

If you haven’t been watching the Tour de France yet, you better start now!

“Cyclists dismount, use sidewalk”

The bike lane usually is the first thing getting closed down by the city’s road construction. No detour, just walk your bike past. Always shows us, that biking still isn’t as important for transportation as it should be.

And having a good time finding new ways through the darkness.

Holy wheels setup is suited best for these rides.
