Bike check-in served as the final task for the men racing in the first-ever Ironman World Championships in Nice, France. After bike check-in, it was time to head home to hydrate and get one more nervous night of sleep before race morning. We went to transition on the Promenade des Anglais and pulled out some of our favorite bikes from the day—from the fast to the funky.
