Cue some poor old curmugeon running down the street yelling "STOP! THIEF!
Give me my bike back!" ... which would be funny unto itself. Love your idea
though!
Lance Armstrong as the next "Don't Forget Your Passport" world traveller
(the one with the youngish travellers - Iain Wright, Justine Shapiro et al)
doing "bike centric" travel would be VERY cool.
Maybe even with a North American slant 'cause we really do have a lot of
cool places right here at home. Start with Texas (naturally) and maybe check
out all the home-towns of other TdF riders. (Zabriskie et al)
Lance may have stepped down from TdF life but there's still a lot of life
left in his stories. I haven't read his books (plan to) but if he produced
and/or starred in some kind of documentary on what it takes to get to his
level of fitness, diet etc, I'd watch.
I suspect Lance may take the next few months/year(s) just to catch up with
family but he doesn't strike me as the personality type that becomes
"irrelevant."
