The Bicycle Races are Coming Your Way

The Tour de France starts Saturday, July 3! Bicycle race, bicycle race.

For some history of the race, check out this entry on the first race from one of our online ebooks, Great Events from History: The 20th Century: 1901-1940.

Use the official "Le Tour" website to keep up with the daily events. Vive le tour!

Forbidden Wikipedia?

Do you need a quick topic overview, but are forbidden from using Wikipedia? Try Credo Reference!

Credo has always been an easy source for credible information from online dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc. Now they have a "Topic Page" feature that pulls background, definition, references and news items together for many commonly researched topics. Try global warming or World War II to see examples.
