Amaze your friends with your Tour knowledge! The highly-praised Story of the Tour de France can be bought directly from us (we're happy to autograph it for you!), or from Amazon: You can also read it on-line for only $6.95.

Brian Robinson was the first British rider to finish the Tour and win a Tour stage. Note the cool collared wool jersey with front pockets and the bike with Mafac brakes and Campy fingertips. We've got a terrific interview of this truly fine cyclist posted.

All content on this site is free except our illustrated history of the Tour de France which is available for only $6.95 for six month's access.

What you'll find in our site:

The Tour de France. Lots of information, including podium placings, details for every year, and, by subscription, our Story of the Tour de France book.

Other important bike races: the Giro d'Italia, the Vuelta a España, along with the classics, stage races, national championships, world records, and olympics.

We keep a running record of the races going on in the current year, with results, photos, maps, etc. We've been doing this since 2001, so the results for yearly bicycle races are also available here.

We are fascinated by the history of cycling, and all of its characters and events. We've been interviewing anyone who will sit down and talk to us, then writing up the interviews, and collecting other stories about cycling. We have rider histories—the stories of individual riders, many by the great cycling writer Owen Mulholland. We have our oral history project—the results of our interviews. And we've colleced lots of photos over the years, of racers, racing, manufacturing, etc., which we have arranged into photo galleries for your enjoyment.

Being in the bike business for many years, we had to opportunity to travel a lot in Europe, riding bikes, attending trade shows, etc. We've written up many of our travels, and had some contributions from others whose travels differed from ours.

What would the day be without the funnies? Our friend Francesca Paoletti has drawn a series of comics about bike related stuff, poking fun at us along the way.

If you are interested in bikes, sooner or later you will want to know some technical information about bikes. We have articles here about bike weight, how bike frames are prepped and assembled, selected bike parts, and others.

And then there's food! The bicycle runs on the human engine, and the human engine runs on food, so of course we're interested in that.

Along the way we've been privileged to meet many people in and around the bike business who do things we like. The folks whose ads are up there on the right are friends of ours who we believe conduct their business knowledgably and honorably; here are a few others who do stuff we like.
