This book looks great…just what I need to understand the tour in a visual way!
I love the Tour de France as well as my whole family. Watching the different stages and all the people that support the riders on the side of the streets is amazing.
Le Tour is a family tradition in our family, it has inspired my husband to start cycling, in 2 years his diabetes is now manageable. For me who has seen le tour in person as a child, it has always brought back wonderful memories. I also have just started to bike for my health. This book is a great way to explore and expose all who are not familiar with the tour.
I am glued to the Tour but am unclear on the rules. This book would certainly help.
You can’t miss the Tour. Some of the best TV there is in the month of July though the family won’t agree. I just don’t understand why watching the same stage three times in one day is such a problem for them?
I’m one of the few riders in my large retirement community. The tips I found in “Spring Cleaning for your Bicycle” were excellent reminders.
That pop up book is fantastic! I am so happy to have found this site

My husband is crazy about the Tour de France.
He has completed 3 times The Quebec-Montreal
when is was a young adult. He was 7 hours on
the bike.
For many years, he followed it on TV and
I buy him the official magazine so he knows
what race to look every day. i think it will be a very nice gift for him.
I loved the article on Fashionable Helmets. They are so great. You would never know they are wearing a helmet. They are chic cyclist helmets and would love to get one. Although l cannot image a rider in the Tour de France wearing one, l would love to have one.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I also like the article on fashionable helmets and would love to win the hat.
Good to see innovation in sports books.
I loved pop-up books as a kid! How fun to display a TDF pop-up on my coffee table!!
Love the Tour de France. We tape it daily to watch it in the evening. Hearing headliners in the day just adds to the suspense! Love the book, a greater understanding of the tour makes it so much more enjoyable!
Always looking for ways to introduce my daughter into the activities I love. She understand that mommy goes for long bike rides and wishes she could come along too which sometimes she does. What a great way to bring something that is a part of our history and bring it down to their prespective and let them feel like they are a part of it.
This book is awesome and my daughter loves reading it with me. They do a great job at explaining everything relating to the Tour and I learned a lot from it. What a great prize to win
I really like the le tour of France logo and the book is exceptionally got that popping out appearance to attract everyone to want to cycle.The homemade bike, cycling jewelry is so unique, it’s awesome to be so talented and creative like she is.Actually I just love looking @ all the different spin and cycling accessories.It’s alot of unique stuff to look at and shop for.June Beecher of Jackson, Ms.Love it!
