Lance riding with a bunch of fixed gear hooligans

That's pretty cool actually to see him out there like that at his age and with his money.

DanielS 09-19-08 12:43 AM

Wow... I got to the end and thought 'weird, where was Lance?'. I expected them to come across him fully kitted up out for a road ride or something.

Man, those are some sweet videos. Watch the garrett one, he drops lance so bad. I want a fixed gear now!!!

Cool video, thanks for sharing it.

Jared88 09-19-08 01:20 AM

Yeah they can fly but a most of them deserve to be t-boned at an intersection. That is just stupid what they are doing. I'm all for having fun on bikes and that is supposed to be what the fixie scene is all about but to act like a total hooligan around town ruins it for the rest of us.

i kind of agree, really, plus the sight of a 'prominent' cycling figure riding without a helmet under those circumstances annoys me. you can only pursue such activities, until something inevitably goes wrong...

Wow, that's awesome!

I am so getting a sweet fixie for college now! The dangerous grounds of USC call for some speed anyways.

Still gives me goosebumps

You should get a Shift key. What's your point?

Don't sweat it b. If you're afraid they might give cyclists a bad name, that ship has already sailed.

That's so true Pcad!.

When I ask the non cyclist population what they think of us, some will say we're trouble makers because we run lights, ride too aggressively and cause accidents.

The others will say that cyclists are gay because we wear tight tights and all the fancy stuff.

And yet another group will say that a bicycle is a toy and grown ups should be driving a car, not riding a bike!

that group is referring to bmx's.

Yes & no. They'll see someone on a bike and that'll automatic trigger their own personal memory of riding a bike (and most of these people haven't rode a bike since they were kids). So to them, they automatically categorize all bikes as toys (not only BMXs).

I forgot another "new" category. In the past few years, with the "green" movement in full swing, I think more & more people are beginning to realize that cycling is not only a form of sport, but also a part of commuting & helping the environment. Once more people become aware of this, we (as a group) will get more respect. With the higher price of gas, I'm beginning to see much much much more cyclists on the road.

Very Nice, I wonder how they got hooked up with Lance.

prendrefeu 09-19-08 05:53 AM

Lance is trying to get his cred with the fixster kids now?
Maybe it's like a preemptive move before he gets caught for doping (especially now that his "scientific data" article can no longer be used as a crutch).

I like the part when he's talkin to the cops, "It's okay officer, I'm Lance Armstrong"

The acoustic guitarist in the first clip sounds like Leo Kottke. Its his song anyway.
