If Eddy was okay with it, you should be, too.
Besides, what's disgraceful about Eddy riding a borrowed bike in
support of a worthy bike-related charity?

Merckx is a has-been. He was a big fish in a small pond fo cyclists back in the 1960's and
70's. People gawk at him for the same reason they go to church and worship a Sky
Daddy...because their own personal lives are so empty that they try to live vicariously
through others and all sorts of delusions and fantasies.
It's really a form of mental illness to worship heroes...especially sports stars...and
especially guys who doped like Merckx.
Thanks,
Magilla

Look at the photo - it's a disgrace. It would be like seeing Jennifer Aniston on the cover of a
magazine wearing nothing but Depends. In fact, that photo meets the Supreme Court's
requirement for obscenity.

Lots of people back in Brussels ride bikes like that. Except
for all the gears, you'd get by fine with only 3.

You are sort of like Vivaldi in the sense you don't know when to throw a

I thought the bike pregnant Leontien was riding was much stranger.
However, to paraphrase: "If you ride it, they will come."

Take note Armdong-o-philes: "I don't think [Contador] is arrogant," he
said. "He wants to win the Tour. They both wanted to win the Tour, and
he was the leader."

Come on Ilan, you know that the group here haven't the slightest idea what

What is interesting is two things - plainly Lance wasn't up to competing
with Contador at the time. So it isn't difficult to understand that what he
did was either as a team mate or as an intelligent competitor. What happens
in 2010 is going to be interesting though.

Sweet. He's still copping to what, 150 km/week?
It's nice to see a pro who even in retirement, still enjoys the bike.
Lance too.

Even Fair Warning and Women & Children First had some throw-away songs. That
doesn't make Eddy a bad guitarist.

It means that his judgement was poor enough to keep those songs, rather than write
new ones. (Further evidence of his poor judgement, in two words: Sammy Hagar.) He's
capable of much better but thinks that everything he does is good. Sadly, no.
