Apparently he was doing a “cycle protest.”

You don’t hear a lot about the Tour de France ever since Lance Armstrong left. However, it’s still going on, and is in fact the most viewed cycling event in the world (if that means something to you, good for you!).
Given how “popular” it is, it’s no surprise that people try to hijack the event to their own ends. For example, this protester tried to jump the barriers and ride to the finish on his bike — only to be tackled by security before he could.
