How many bike rides are you going to get in during the next 50 days?

Mark Cavendish rocketed to the front of the peloton on Champs-Élysées in Paris to win his fifth stage of the 2011 Tour de France on Sunday.
Somewhere behind him, Cadel Evans was mobbed by his teammates as he crossed the finish line to become the first Australian ever to win the Tour.

Meanwhile, Cavendish became the first Briton to win the green points jersey at the Tour. His Paris win marked his 5th in this Tour and 20th in his career. ….

It will still be snail mail, but it will have the illusion of speed when the U.S. Postal Service releases four bicycling themed stamps in 2012.
The post office says it chose the bicycle because it's one of the nation's most popular outdoor activities.
A press release reminds us that the Postal Service delivers mail by bicycle in locations throughout Arizona and Florida. That same press release doesn't remind us that it once sponsored a professional bicycle racing team that won six Tours de France …
