Lance Armstrong & Tandems

Sure, you know he's a husband, father, cancer survivor, and phenominal pro cyclist. But did you know Lance also owns & rides tandems!?

From the Quotable Cyclist  It's something I find enjoyable. Whether it is a road bike or mountain bike or tandem bike. I enjoy riding a bike. Lance Armstrong

From Chris Timm's Pro-Cycling Photo Page: You can see Miguel Indurain on a Bike Friday Family Tandem, and Lance Armstrong on a 1998(?) Cannondale RT 3000 tandem. The picture was probably taken at the 1999 Ride for the Roses, an annual fundraiser the Lance Armstrong Foundation organizes to raise money for cancer research.   Click on Thumbnail Image to See Larger Picture on Chris Timm's Website
