Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

42 REASONS.... Why Lance broke up with Sheryl

42 REASONS WHY BICYCLES ARE BETTER THAN GIRLFRIENDS
1. Bicycles don't get pregnant.
2. You can ride bicycles any time of the day, week, month, or year.
3. Bicycles don't have parents.
4. Bicycles don't whine unless something is really wrong.
5. You can share a bicycle with friends but why would you want to?
6. Bicycles don't care how many other bicycles you have ridden.
7. When riding you and your bike arrive at the same time.
8. Bicycles don't mind how many other bicycles you have.
9. Bicycles don't care if you buy bicycle magazines.
10. If your bike goes flat you can fix it for about $12.00 parts and labor and you are riding the same day.
11. If your bike is too loose you can tighten it.
12. If your bike is misaligned you don't have to discuss politics with it.
13. You can ride other friends' bicycles and still be friends.
14. If you say bad things to your bicycle you don't have to apologize before you can ride it again.
15. You can ride your bicycle for as long as you want & it won't get sore but you might.
16. You can stop riding your bicycle as soon as you want & it won't get frustrated.
17. Your mother won't stay in contact with your bike after you dump it.
18. Bicycles don't get headaches.
19. Bicycles don't insult you if you are a bad rider.
20. Bicycles don't care if you are late.
21. You don't have to take a shower before you ride a bicycle and you don’t always want to after.
22. You can ride your bicycle the first time you meet it without having to take it out to dinner, see a movie, or meet its parents.
23. When in mixed company you can talk about great rides you've had.
24. Your bike won't change the channel.
25. Your bike never says "no" or "not right now".
26. You can video tape yourself riding a bike and share it with others.
27. Bikes don't cost as much.
28. You can upgrade your bike.
29. If you throw your bike across the parking lot, it doesn't call the cops on you.
30. Your bike won't get another rider even if you can't see it all the time.
31. You don't have to change rubbers every time you ride.
32. Your bike doesn’t want the remote… ever.
33. Your bike never plans for you to do chores all weekend.
34. You bike won’t tell you you’ve had enough cold ones although it may remind you when you’ve had too many and even punish you a little for riding in that condition.
35. You can talk about your bikes weight right in front of it and others with immunity.
36. You can put your bike on a diet and it will never complain, or feel ugly.
37. You never have to share your ice cream with it.
38. You can show all your friends your battery operated accessories without fear or shame.
39. Your bike will travel in the trunk without complaint or costly air holes.
40. Your bike will never complain that you spend too much time with your girlfriend.
41. You can accidentally say the names of other bikes and it’s not “Just Curious”.
42. You can always ride your bike really, really hard.

Who's assuming he let her go. Ten bucks she got sick of the jock/bike/Texas thing and took her 20 million album sales butt back to the Hollywood Hills.

maybe she doesnt like *********s

Lance holding a steady relationship for any length of time is unlikely, if in doubt, read his books, pretty well explained in them.

Yeah.. he is a bit of an egomaniac. Probably told Sheryl she couldn't tour anymore or something.

Mr. Ryder, if you are much over the age of 14, you have shared that human experence of being in love, and then things going to hell...surely you remember the pain involved?

Wouldn't it be delightful to have YOUR personal life on the internet? Complete strangers joking and speculating and entertaining themselves with things that involve your most private and intimate feelings? Would you be enjoying this thread if it was about YOU, your former wife, or your former girlfriend?

Lance Armstrong, the Pro cyclist is a public figure, and subject to public scrutiny. Lance Armstrong, the guy whose engagement just ended is a private person. Give his personal life the respect you would want for your personal life.

Some people take things way to serious.

I just wish he would do a few more tours.... that way I have no doubt that OLN will air as much cycling this year as last year.

10 sounds like an even number...I think he could do it too.
