Last Thursday night Lance Armstrong was in town for a fundraiser for Kids on Bikes. Our local paper had an article about his visit. Why did Lance start riding a bike? He said, “I didn’t really learn how to ride it until the girl next door who was the same age as me learned how to ride it. That day, I rode.”

Lance went to high school here in town for a couple years in the late 1980’s while he was on the U.S. junior team. I’m only a year older than him and I rode some with the junior team but I think it was probably after Lance was here.

Local sports columnist and fitness trainer, Milo Bryant, wrote that he thinks Lance should save cycling. I always like reading Milo’s articles since he isn’t afraid to say what he thinks. He also tries getting people to be more active instead of sitting in front of the TV.
