Why aren't they on the nice bike path that the taxpayers paid for to keep bikes off the road?

Lance does look like a bee in that kit, doesn't he?

I'm looking forward to your anger and consternation when Lance wins Paris-Roubaix, The Tour of Flanders, The Giro, and the Tour de France, and then goes on Letterman and Leno.

If you don't like Gary's pic better you are gay or non-lesbian.

Those people behind them should be on island time. It's cool.

I'm a Lance fan, but what's with the livestrong getup while riding with the team. Now that is odd.

i don't know how small you guys are to consider LA arms HUGE, you kidding me? maybe he's more tone than most cyclists, but most cyclists look like little panzy girls(professional cyclists) not you e muscle cyclists on BF of course. personally I'm a fan of LA but the attention ***** thing has so much truth to it. but you win that many tours I guess it comes with the territory.

I'm on the right - fairly skinny for 6'4. My buddy Kyle in the middle has "huge" arms, as does his brother Chad (left). They are both genetic freaks! Kyle trains with a well-known [around this area] Cat 1 named Chris Spence. Kyle also never had a road bike until just under 2 years ago. His brother is a triathlete. They both destroy me on the bike. It is humbling...

I wouldn't be surprised to see him in his livestrong stuff even after Jan 1. He claims the entire reason he came back was to promote his foundation and cancer research, and he has the weight that he could probably get it written into his contract that he can wear non-team kit on training rides.
