Hire neighborhood kids to line up along your favorite route. Supply them with cowbells, magaphones, obnoxious costumes, and country flags. Teach them how to say "Allez insert your name here", or "Venga insert name here"

Also supply them with lots of paint and tell them it is ok to grafitti the streets! Except don't show them how to paint large phalluse. Ha ha.

Leave an empty syringe or two lying around your house.

Find a group of twelve year olds in you community and volunteer to take them on a ride. Plan the route carefully so as to include a good hill. When you get to the hill turn around and give them the Lance "look" and then drop the little suckers. Make sure this is a road with lots of traffic to ensure many will see your riding prowess.

Everyone...read the "shaving" thread in the training forum...what started as a poll (a questionable one at that) rivals this thread in hillarity (although I don't think it's supposed to be funny- I'm sending it to Matt and Trey)

Have a friend you can smoke wear a Lance Armstrong Mask and yellow jersey as you drop him through your subdivision. Your wife or girlfriend ,whichever the case may be, can be waiting at the next stop sign with a Cheryl Crowe mask on as she hugs you in victory. Complicated but effective.

Talking Re: Top ten ways to look like a better cyclist than you are! :)

My favorite trick to annoy the bike trail blue train is to sit there and ride along next to one of them on my 30lb steel mtn-turn-commuter bike and talk to them. "wow nice bike..."etc. etc. it works especially well when you can just motor right along for a serious distance (without getting too bored) just chatting away like your sitting in the coffee shop.


As far as more ways to pose.... use the wife's make up to fake healing road rash.
