Those bikes have something to do with the tour...what makes that apparent is that each one is a paint job for one of the "special jerseys." Obviously the yellow one in the middle is the overall leader.

The polka dot one is for the "King of the Mountain" or the person leading in points awarded after designated climbs along the route. The green jersey is for the sprint leader. Again, special points awarded at end of specifically designated sprints along the route, and the leader of that category wears the green jersey.

I have a feeling there is also a giant white bicycle as the White jersey is given to the top "young rider."
