    Not bad as a compilation, but a lot of interesting images skip too fast,,,

    Armstrong by the looks of it.

    Look to the right of the linked video in the “Video Responses” section. It reads “Post a Video Response”. If you wish to post a video to this or any other site, you would select the “Post a Video Response” and follow the directions. Good luck.

    Very cool. In Los Angeles, a number of pro riders join local rides. Rode with Rahsaan Bahati recently. Regardless of what you might think about Rock Racing, Rahsann is a very nice individual, polite, social, and generous with his time… and freakin’ skilled and fast. Good guy.

    As with life… cycling embodies the good and the bad. With the intensity and celebrity of racing, it all gets magnified… sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Which I try to portray in the video.

    Who’s passing up that hill @1:00? That’s amazing.

    Walking out of the bagle shop the other day when this guy rides up in his full Astana kit. I was just thinking “yah, right…you wish.” Took a second look, noted the veins in the legs, the fact that he was about 5’10″, 150 tops, and the frame that said “Horner”, and changed my mind. He came out, I’m looking at his bike (sooo nice) and he talks to me for a good 7 minutes. Nicest guy you’d ever hope to meet. Great coincidence and a real cool dude. Inspirational.

    This video is about the best and worst of cycling… the purity of the sport, the corruption of the sport, and the ego of the sport.

    There are some questionable and contemptible characters in the cycling… the nude cyclist among them… but they add intrigue to the sport… and they get a place in this video.

    In a conversation with fellow cycling enthusiasts, I’ll make my positive and negative comments. With this video, I’ll make them another way… it’s another form of expression.

  14. pboisei says:

    yeah, showing nude cyclist will definitely help our reputation.

  15. w4ta says:

    Greg Lemond

  16. alxr5 says:

    who’s at 0:49 ?

  17. adderseal says:

    so true. the attitude the english have towards cyclists is so bad

  18. w4ta says:

    I’m in Southern California, and we certainly have our cyclists riding and racing with vigor and enthusiasm (with or without Lance in the spotlight), but any casual interest from the masses appears to begin and end with Armstrong.

    Regarding Farrar, yes! Looking forward to him closing out a few of these near misses.

  19. cone3one69 says:

    The good vids are the one that make me wanna ride. This one makes me wanna ride. But then, I always wanna ride.

  20. cone3one69 says:

    You’d be surprised at how popular cycling has become here. Watch some Tour of Califonia highlights for example. You should see roads where I live, especially on weekends; people pedaling everywhere. Personally, I would recognize everybody you mentioned. And, I’m quite certain cycling will remain popular here when Armstrong retires. We love Leipheimer and will have guys like Farar to watch. Its all good.

    This is ultra-intense

  22. soulripper31 says:

    Poor Cavendish

  23. matt99is says:

    it’s even less popular in the UK, at least the USA has some major cycling events, cyclists in the UK are actively hated by the general public

  24. w4ta says:

    I refuse to believe every cyclist is clean until he tests positive. That would be naive.

    Every top rider who’s tested positive could show you files of clean tests, proving they’re good at beating tests… until the day they get caught (read up on Kohl).

    There is enough sworn testimony concerning Armstrong and credible investigation by L’Equipe on the 6 positive ’99 samples to at least have serious doubts about Armstrong.

    To say “impossible” is to bury one’s head in the sand.

  25. soulripper31 says:

    Well second worst day. I guess the tour of 95 was worse for him.
