That's inspirational! I've heard of people doing etapes like that but this is really the best news story coming from the tour this year.

Agreed. That kind of story makes me think better of humanity. They should put cameras on that brave nutter. Amazing.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

He is very brave. He probably didn't have enough experience before he started to know how tough it was going to be. I'd prefer to see that on TV than the real Tour.

The book "French Revolutions" by Tim Moore describes the author doing the same in 2000 (hilarious read).

Oh yeah, and thanks to Membrane for posting that. Very nice.

Is the Guardian or anyone else for that matter providing updates on the progress of this heroic man?
