Steel bike vs. brand new Tour de France climbs: A Shoddy investigation

Living in the French Alps, you’d think that I’d climbed all the monumental mountain passes that the Tour de France has been routed up and over in its 100 plus years. Well, to be honest, I haven’t. The Alps can be a touch of a dog to get about at times; it’s far from a …
