For all cycling enthusiasts, the month of July is synonymous with the famous Tour de France. Organized since 1903, this race has become an institution in the world of cycling. It's much more than a race; it's a family event that brings together young and old alike. The men's edition takes place from July 1st to 23rd, followed by the women's edition from July 23rd to 30th. At Treebike, we like to draw inspiration from the careers of great cyclists. For this occasion, we're sharing some of the greatest female figures in the world of cycling.
