Questions (and some answers) on the Tour de France Speaking of my wife - she has found a new hobby since meeting me - which is keeping a log of stupid questions people ask her when she mentions her husband is a professional cyclist. Here's a sample of some of her favorites... 1. "But what does he do for a living?" 2. "Does he get paid for that?" 3. "Does he live off a trust fund?" 4. "Are you riding the Tour of France with him?" 5. "How many thousands of cyclists sign up for the Tour de France?" 6. "What cause does the Tour de France raise money for?" 7. "Do you really think cycling is a team sport?" 8. "How much longer is he going to ride his bike around Europe before getting a job?" 9. "Does he do a lot of sight seeing in Europe?" 10. "Are there port-a-potties along the race routes?" 11. "What is that thing on his head? (during time trials)" 12. "Do you miss him when he's away?" 13. "If he burns 5,000 calories a day riding, can he eat a whole pizza for dinner?" 14. "If he travels all the time, why hasn't he taken you on a honeymoon yet?" 15. "Do you train with him?" 16. "Does he know that Lance Armstrong guy?" 17. "If the Tour de France is only three weeks long, what does he do for the rest of the year?" 18. "Do his legs get tired doing that?" 19.
