Very cool.. Hey I learned something. Nice link to the history too Jen. And the video is cool too.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY RODE THE TDF WITH 2 GEARS. Those men probably don't have any knees left.

Neat video! Thanks for finding and posting.
The bike we saw was actualy 4 gears. There were 2 on each side. You had to really want the other two gears to get off of the bike and flip your wheel.
