Much faster in the Tour. Sprints can top 40mph and downhill sections can approach 70.

Interesting, and not only irrelevant, but misleading as well. We're discussing bicyclists as they are on the roads in the USA. Bicyclists seem to don an "in you face - let's see how many motorists we can piss off" attitude when they put on their silly spandex outfits.

BIGTIME! You should see how obstructive they get on the winding New England coastline roads I take to work, etc. And no, they aren't even running close to 25 MPH.

I wish the spandex-cladd sissies had the same respect for motorists they demand from motorists. Jerks.

Sorry you don’t like our silly little spandex outfits. I personally wear spandex because it works. It’s skin tight to wick moisture away from the skin where it is evaporated by the breeze produced by riding which keeps me cool. Sure I could wear loose clothing and let the sweat pool beneath it and bake, but why the hell would I?
