    You know me so well. *Want*.

    Jesus, they *raced* them.

    "In 1901, the first official triporteur race took place from Paris to
    Versailles and back. In 1903 the course was 38km - from Ville-D' Avray
    to Palaiseau and back.

    From 1922 the Championnat des Triporteurs was held annually in
    mid-November; the course was 50km. In 1927 it was switched to the 39 km
    Tour de Paris course. Riders carried 65kg in their pick-up beds; winning
    times averaged 1hr 30mins.

    The race even continued for 3 years during the war."
