A select group of French prisoners will be given a rare taste of freedom next month when they are let out of jail to participate in their own Tour de France.Close to 200 prisoners will take to the open roads as they cycle around France next month in the first penal version of the Tour de France, though they will be accompanied by scores of guards on bicycles.
The 196 prisoners will cycle in a pack and breakaway sprints will not be allowed.


Gee, what could go wrong?


Somewhere in this world, there is apparently someone whose job it is to think of things like this. They actually get paid to come up with these things.

I want that job.

A pair of fixie pedals with toe clips could easily be modified.
