Did a metric century today
Guy I ran into on a nice Davidson had a small, red lantern hanging from his seat. I asked him what that was for. He said they award the red lantern for the last place in the Tour de France.
Now I want one.

aka: Mike J.
Googled up some images, even found a vintage one, and found this blurb about a three-time-winner (loser? ) of the award with a pic of him holding it:

I want one for the garage now.
