Road bike · BE · 450 km · 5 stages

The first Tour de France was held in 1903. The earliest riders, known as the ‘Convicts of the Road’, were famous for their courage and athleticism. They were all from the working classes and rode extremely heavy and basic bicycles compared to today's riders. They covered over 400 kilometres (250 mi)
