Lance riding with the Mash crew

Well I'm 29, don't think it's too old
AM I out of the loop, well I guess so, if the coolness appeal doesn't work for me.
I take it the video is cool to watch, no doubt about it, but it seems like it's "cool to be cool and do as they do (or wish)".
By the way, I assume that by your answer you're "totally in the loop" and so young you're cool

Man, I was just about to comment on this!
That's Leo Kottke playing first (Busted Bicycle is the name of the song I believe; I know it's on an album called "6 & 12 String Guitar", which has a picture of an armadillo on the front (and is known as the armadillo album)). The outro is Meat Puppets, "The Whistling Song" off II.
Great soundtrack!

if you think that any of them "dusted" lance, watch the last 30sec with the downhill descent, and watch him just take off. They're all spinning out while he's still pushing it (and his gear ratio is small than theirs)

I found it funny some of the riders are riding safer, than Lance, with a helmet yet they have no brakes 
Also Lance is rocking a brake so he can descend a lot faster without kicking up too much of an issue when he has to stop
great vid though. had me smiling all the way through

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.

Lance Armstrong sold out. How sad. He went beyond the token Cancer wristbands to the Fixster Hoodie.
I wonder if he was prepping for the Nike MASH clothing line coming up this fall. All of your favorite windbreakers, sneakers, and shorts, MASH ridden, Armstrong approved!
Gobble it up, you failed BMXers! This Anal refuse is sure to skyrocket on the Ebay!

it's either 3/18 or 30/88.
Or, look at the terrain, look at the spin, look at the size of their drivetrains [naughty!]. Different pedalstrokes for different folks.
