I have been watching the Tour de France. The riders are amazing to be
able to ride like that. The parts of the tour I find interesting is
the technology. The team manager who rides in the car has two way
communications with each of the riders on his team. The riders have
ear pieces and a little wire goes to a two way communications device
that is strategically placed on their body to lower wind resistance.
Also on each bike is a GPS-like device. This device keeps track of
the location of each bike. This helps in knowing exactly when a bike
crosses the finish line and at what time. So while watching these
riders, there is a lot of technology that is going on behind the scenes.
Yes, I am updating using the iPhone. So enjoy le Tour de France, and
until next time, keep your cell phones charged.
