How hard do you think Lance and other cyclists worked to get Austin to be a bike friendly community? How hard did they work to change motorists attitudes away from "bikes don't belong on streets", "bikes are a hazard", and "I'm never letting my kid ride in the streets."
All this is getting ruined by these jackasses and the publicity from the video. If I was a cop, I'd force them to put on a 7-speed MegaRange cassette, two U-brakes, and GripShift's lowest level twisters, and a Hannah Montana helmet. Let's them parade around town on that setup.
