A tribute to ordinary bicycles

It's Tour de France season, which in my opinion is one of the more exciting sporting events of the year.  Some of the most talented cyclists in the world all come to France to engage in a competition not just on physical fitness, stamina, and ability, but on mental focus, resilience, endurance, and power.  The course winds through countryside and mountains, small towns and cities.  And nothing like being a world champion to keep all the riders motivated.  It's really a beautiful, crazy, and kind of ridiculous event.  But glory and fame and month-long bike races just aren't for everyone.  So here's a tribute to all the everyday bicycles that may never get to compete in the Tour de France, but nonetheless fulfill their duty to their riders on two wheels with grace, style, and good looks to boot.
