    This one really got me. Today I'm wrapping up a training ride out in the
    rural area where I live. I usually don't have any problems with the locals.
    They're used to seeing me and they're all very nice people. But this
    redneck in a beat up pickup truck has to act like I'm inconveniencing him
    even though the road is empty for miles and he could easily go around. He
    honks. He yells. His arm comes out the window for his one finger salute
    and ... there it is. The yellow wrist band! Classic! The ultimate cycling
    irony! Flipped off by a redneck wearing a Livestrong band.

    Are you sure it wasn't a friendly hello of the fellowship of the band?

    Couldn't have been a ``Redneck''

    No self respecting Redneck would be found wearing sh!t like that

    Saw somebody standing outside the hospital this morning, SMOKING and
    wearing their yellow bracelet. Struck me that if you actually gave a
    flying ... about cancer prevention you would not support such an
    industry.

    I've heard cigarette smoking is addictive and hard to stop.

    from the truck?

    I'm in the VERY deep South and I believe it was Lynard Skynard.

    He flipped you off because you didn't have the yellow wrist band on.

    Yeah, but with LANCE worship, you don't lose a lung.
