  1. I was riding my Muni on the trail and ran into a group of MTBers,
    started talking with one of them, and then noticed Lance Armstrong was
    among them! I didn't talk to him and he didn't say anything but I was
    about 90% confident it was him. He lives in Austin and is known to
    MTB. I guess he saw my Muni, but he was looking intently at my Dell
    computer.

    Ah that last part requires some explanation... I found a Dell computer
    in the bushes and dragged it out and plopped it out in the middle of
    the trail near the group of MTBers. I was thinking I should have did
    some trials moves on the computer for Lance... 😄

  2. i was riding vail pass with some freinds (we were on bikes) and we saw
    lance, i was leading our pack and i looked back to ask if my freinds if
    they wanted to switch positions, when i saw lance quickly gaining on
    us. I didnt know it was him at first, just thought it was a freindly
    cyclist and a lance wannabe..but then when he caught up to us he talked
    with us a little and then sped off into the distance..

    If trees could scream would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?
    We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

  3. that'd be so cool if lance got into unicycling...just think, a trek
    muni, or a trek coker.

    Haha, that would be cool.

    Besides, Trek has nice colour schemes.

  5. I did one day of RAGBRAI (about 73mi.) this summer, the day that Lance
    was there. I made it to the same town before he did, so as I waited for
    my fellow RAGBRAIers (who were about 5-10 mi. behind me the whole time;
    I probably did as much waiting as I did riding.), I ate my pizza and
    waited for Lance to come by. Eventually he and Matthew McConaughey rode
    through the crowd of people. It was pretty cool. The only bad part was
    that I didn't know exactly when he'd be riding through, so I was way
    far away from the street eating, so I didn't really get a good look at
    him. I decided I'd pick up my Cannondale (great bike, by the way) and
    follow him to the finish. Well.... I figured that, since he was with
    Matt, he wouldn't be riding full speed. Well, he wasn't, but it was
    still pretty fast. I heard they averaged about 27 mph the whole way
    through, and I averaged somewhere around 18 or 19.... But, a couple of
    hours after most of the people finished he gave a speech and stuff, so
    that was pretty cool.

    Next year I want to do a day of RAGBRAI on a Coker 😄, if I can get a
    hold of one.... If not, I'm gonna do the whole week. Any distance
    bikers should consider RAGBRAI (ride across the entire state of Iowa).
    It's a fun time.

  6. has anybody seen that 48'' wheel on udc? looks like it would be better
    than a coker but I'm not sure what it offers in terms of comfort.

  7. it has a solid tire: hard to replace and hard on the bum.
