Well theres the Tour de France, which just ended. The Giro d'Italia. The Dauphine Libere. Then there are one-day classics, like Paris-Roubaix. There are lots of great cycling races in the world. Hope this helps.

if you're talking about comparing it to football helmets:

EVERYTHING. Its lighter; there's more room; little, but enough padding inside; there is plastic at the bottom of the facemask. It just protects your head enough since you arent charging head first at anyone. Its also illegal in lax to go head first into anyone for any reason.

if youre taling about bike or motorcross helmets:

look for yourself :P

Depends on the type of cycling you're talking about.

Single rider, flat ground, fairly regular looking road bike - about 38 MPH / 60 KMH. Flat ground, fairly regular looking MTB - about 25 MPH

Road bikes, downhill - maybe 50 MPH

MTBs- downhill course - 80 MPH

Custom bikes, special courses - can be whatever.

It's a drop bar road bike for most of the race, and a time-trial road bike for the individual pursuit stage.

If any cyclist cannot refrain from urinating on a long ride, they'll just stop and pee. If they wish to remain on the bike, a rider can just "wet his pants" while riding. Certainly a rider will be uncomfortable through the rest of a ride if he selects this option. This isn't a problem that requires a lot of thought, as there are only two choices. Cyclists are dehydrating while riding, and even though they drink and ride, they usually don't have to pee as they are losing so much water through sweat and through respiration. Competitive riders going distances don't stop and pee because they don't have to.

There's really no telling, as there's a wide span between different kinds of bicycles and different kinds of riding.

On the flat, with a cross-country MTB, maybe 25-30 MPH in a sprint.

With a Down-Hill MTB, maybe 50+ MPH.

The first stage of the Tour de France every year begins in different places, even different countries bordering france, the route is changed every year.

The only thing that stays the same is the finish in Paris on the champs elysee on the final day.

The cycling race Tour de France takes place every year over three weeks in July, traveling through France and sometimes its neighboring countries. Although the route changes every year, it always ends on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

The Tour distance varies from year to year. In 2007, the Tour was 3570km (2218 miles), while in 2008, it is 3554km (2208). Of course, this is done over multiple "stages", which are really daily races within the three week race.

3. Felt Nine Sport

4. Diamond Back Overdrive Comp 29er

5. Specialized Rockhopper 29

The Tour De France always finishes in Paris and has mountain sections and time trials but the route changes each year even crossing into bordering countries on occasion. As far as I know it went into the Italian Alpes ad Spanish Pyranees in recent years and has also had a stage in the UK.

There are random drug tests for riders. Those that finish "on the podium" in a given stage are drug tested.

Lance Armstrong from USA

It is generally in France with occasional stages in neighbouring countries. It is traditional for the tour to start in another country, this year's start was in Monaco. This years tour for example has two stages based in Spain/Andorra.

The Tour de France starts in different places each year. This year it starts in Leeds in the U.K. on 5th July 2014 and doesn't arrive in France until the fourth stage. The fourth stage begins in Le Touquet on 8th July 2014.

Le Tour de France did not take place on 1914-1918 and 1940-1947 because of WW1 and WW2. This happened to many sporting events throughout the world also including the Olympics and the winter Olympics. The world wars affected us in not just loss of death...

It was organised by L'Equipe to sell more of their newspapers.
from two news papers having a feud

In 1903 "L'Auto", the French sports newspaper now called "L'Equipe", staged the race to help promote their newspaper which was struggling to compete with France's first, and by far strongest, sports paper "Le Velo". Needless to say, the Tour was a success and Le Velo was out of circulation one year later.
