Boing Boing Staging

Tour de France Tech

Philip says, “Today is the eve of the Tour de France, a month where we stop busting on the French as much and watch guys in spandex pedal a lot, over 500,000 times per rider. While a lot of the coverage will be on the riders and specifically Lance Armstrong we thought we’d cover some of the gadgets and technologies in this article used in and around the race- the on bike computer, the two-way radio, tv coverage and even getting updates on your phone.” Link.

BoingBoing reader Jean-Luc adds, “The official Tour de France website will have a photoblog, an official newsblog — le journal du tour, and also 4 blogs (called “les chroniques”) that will inform people on the official website. There is a non-official blog about Tour de France there (in english).”
