France

You may not be in quite good enough shape to participate in the Tour de France, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the fabulous scenery bikers are taking in on the journey.

To help celebrate the Tour’s 100th Edition, Google has rolled out a few new products to help you take part in the race from your couch at home. One tool, called Your Tour, actually puts you behind the handlebars, letting you pedal through different stages of the tour by scrolling on your computer.
