Around about the year 1862, Pierre Lallement began a magnificent legacy by coming up with a great and simple invention: the bicycle. Around about one hundred and forty seven years later his idiot descendant son Jacques returned to that legacy by leaning too far out on the road during an Alpine stage of the Tour de France and knocking race leader Alberto Contador off his bike, costing him the race in the process. Pierre turned in his grave. Jacques didn’t learn a thing.
