This isn't exactly news... but it is funny how these guys have been going for months whereas the Skidstrong folks (now Fisso) had to change it after a few weeks. Ho-hum.

Cosmo star hit the nail on the head. It's Urban-Outfitters pseudo-ironic consumerism. Buy this to fit in with the people who are making fun of people who buy stuff to fit in.

Now it kind of reminds me of the Church of the Subgenius... http://www.subgenius.com/

See, now if there was any cause that required a bracelet, that would be it. It'd be nice if they were a bit more up front, like a BangCrow bracelet or something...

If there was ever a cause that needed a bracelet, that would be it. I'm waiting for the NoBangCrow bracelet...

If I am going to wear a braclet it better have diamonds all around...

That's a weird photo - your wrist clearly looks like a neck, and your forearm looks like the back of a head wearing a stripey hat.

Stupid.

Oh no, another rubber device that would be better suited as a rubber band to fling at someone...

If I want a bracelet it better have diamonds on the perimeter...! :D

i know i am a newbie on here, but i felt the need to register and put my 2 cents worth in. My mom died of cancer about 6 months ago. now, i am sure that you are thinking i am going to bash slopvehicle for posting this, but really, i think this is one of the best posts on this thread. i know my mom would never want to be remember as losing her battle with cancer, and i know she would not want to be remembered as some cultural fad. and that, my fellow bikers, is why i wear a livewrong bracelet. to celebrate my mom and her constant push to keep me who i was, to do my own thing, and not to be ashamed of who i am. i constantly see the livestrong bracelet in chicago, and it is almost a slap in the face. it seems most people are buying them because it is socially "in" to wear one, and the fact that it helps cancer research comes second. there are plenty of people that wear the livestrong bracelet because they truely believe in the cause, and i salute them, and there are plenty of posers whom wear the livewrong bracelet because they think it is cool and want to be outcasts.
so, before you pass judgement, make sure you have all the facts, everything out there has it's true believers, but it also has it's tag alongs.

and he sells one of the better track bike teeshirts out there.

i have no particular disdain for lance, per se. but, i must say that i could give a **** about him and the tour de france. professional road cycling does not interest me whatsoever. so, when someone yells "GO LANCE," or "TOUR DE FRANCE, DUDE" at me when i'm riding my bike, i tend to develop a bit of antagonism. it used to happen every ****ing day. sometimes, up to twice in the same mile. being "lanced," as it were, has annoyed me to no ****ing end. it's sort of funny in a "god, what sort of ******bag yells that sort of ****" way, but jesus ****ing christ. not that it's actually the fault of anyone other than the ******bags shouting, but it certainly doesn't help it when 90% of the time that i hear someone mention lance, it's when i'm being heckled.

there. that's my lance rant. when it comes down to it, i don't really care about him one way or another, but i hate it when people assume that i'm lance's biggest fan when they learn that i ride my bike all of the time.

Back (way back) when I was turning wrenches for K-Mart Automotive, my buddies and I were wearing fashionable oil filter gaskets around our wrists before there was even an Armstrong.

So, when am I goin to get my ass eatin by one of you ****s.

SS/fixed is laggin in the news. These were out way before interbike.

These were out before interbike. SS/fixed is behind the times.

great. thanks. really... thanks for that. if i somehow end up with an inexplicable urge to bang sheryl crow, i'm blaming you and my high susceptibility to suggestion.

that's how i saw it, i should have clarified i think.

Do you think the yellow band plastic can cause cancer?

No one likes Lance because he's from Texas. Plain and simple. Only people who like Texas like Lance.

Those Livewrong bracelets started as a way to make money for a family that lost someone. The Drunkcyclist helped promote it cause he knew the family and wished to help them raise money for their bills. Then the money from the cause was moved to that cycling group there in AZ.

I think they're great if not just because when I see one I know I am talking to someone who I have something in common. We might visit the same site, discuss on the same forums, and probably both enjoy riding bikes.

Take it easy.

**** if its for drunk cyclist, that makes it even worse. what a ****hole ****rag of a website

I am still waiting to get my ass licked

Seriously, what the **** is that? someone mentioned a cool Merckx jersey there but all I could find were 10 billion links to cheesy porn. The whole thing was ****ing impossible to read and seemed to have more to do with porn ads than biking.

i've had a couple livewrong bracelets for a year or so now...
i got it when i regularly trying to talk about bikes with people wearing livestrong ones and they had no idea what i was talking about... the majority of them didn't even know what the livestrong thing was about, just that everyone else was wearing one...

keep waiting dude... it's worth it...
