It's impossible to encapsulate the beauty of the world's most magnificent bicycle spectacle in words. But here is an attempt.

Lance wins the 2001 Tour, his third, then retires and forms a rock band. In 2004, Tinker Juarez is the last MTB pro in the world. And in 2007, gas costs $93/gal, and only Bill Gates owns a car. Everyone else rides bikes and pelts his car with poopy diapers.
