Sounds like an ill-timed pedal strike effectively ended Lance Armstrong's long career today. He banged a pedal and crashed in a roundabout just a few kilometers before a crucial climb in the Alp stages of the Tour de France. He fought his way back to the pack, but spent so much energy catching up that he cracked on the climb itself, finishing the stage a hopeless 11:45 minutes back from the leaders. Watch those pedals, whether you are riding C&V or at the highest level of racing!
