“Narrow roads are ok on mountain stages when the peloton (the main pack of riders)”

That’s really cheesy that the tour started calling it a peleton by stealing it from that online exercise bike company.

The term “peloton” was used in the Tour de France long before the peloton exercise machines came along. I think the exercise bakes were named after the cycling term. Or were you being sarcastic?

Thank you for that.   I was just thinking that I finally understood the emotions that insipid Peloton commercial was intending to bring forth.   The excitement of a bicycle race, I said to myself while laughing myself into convulsions.

They could have started a company and called it "Detergent" to sell us all on the excitement of washing dishes and doing the laundry.
