Lance is happy to stay quiet on his twitter when his team mate gets busted for Clenbuterol… He should have shown the same discretion and not given this radio chump any extra publicity.

I guess we are moving into 3rd World America now. Just like China: 4 wheels Rich/ 2 Wheels Poor. Doesn’t matter, unless you are in The Party, and have guards with you, you are just a peon to the drivers.

Its all about status: Get out of my way, you don’t have the right to make me slow down for 2 seconds.

I saw someone almost kill a cop to pass me narrowly, and I was going 35!

Don’t really care what his angle is/was he’s a F**king Kook. I applaud Lance Armstrong for speaking out on ALL our behalf however, had he not (let’s pretend) would this really have gotten the attention it did? Would Kookheiser still have staged an apology?

Maybe he should commute to work on a bike for a while and experience first hand what he seemed to so carelessly advocate.

I know the Shop/Club I ride with make a concentrated effort to educate EVERYONE who rides w/ us, EVERYONE who purchases a bike as to what is expected and required of them on the road.

It’s a bit ironic that I have raced criterium’s on both the Richmond and Langley, VA speedways in the past month.

I keep returning to the idea of why is it okay or even funny to threaten cyclists? Why do some drivers get angrier at a cyclist than at an inconsiderate driver? I don’t understand the hate. There is something really primitive about it.

And these aren’t harmless comments; they are indicative of a careless self-centered society. In recent years there have been incident after incident of runners and cyclists getting injured and killed by drivers who get a slap on the wrist. I don’t understand this at all.

I quit listening to radio’s political personalities a long time ago. I can just as easily dump ESPN and forget there’s anything on the dial but NPR. They don’t need to shock to get your attention, and I don’t need to be shocked to give it.

I have been very surprised at Lance’s silence up to now on the persecution of American bicyclists on the road and in the popular media, particularly on the radio.

I’m quite sure Lance has been a victim of these shenanigans while riding. Imagine where his career would have been if he had been shunted off the road by some careless if not purposely malicious driver?

If he loves cycling as much as I believe he does, I’d suggest he become more vocal in making American roads safer for all users just like he has done in the fight against cancer.

Great article guys.

Tony K’s show was an orchestrated effort to get people to hear his show. I like LAB’s suggestion for how to handle it. Dealing with management and working to reduce his listeners is the only way to make this a losing proposition for Tony K and “personalities” like him.

What’s next for Tony? Dropping the “N” word and some racial jokes in his show in an effort to get Oprah to call in?

He’s seriously wasting the gift that is the First Amendment.

Great comments folks. Thank you for your passion.

Some credit needs to go to Bob Roll as well – Bobke’s beef on VS was published about the radio show on the 11th yesterday morning. I don’t think it was coincidence that a couple hours after it was posted was when all the uproar started.
For Lance and the interview – I think it was an ok job; I do wish that Lance had emphasized that the person on the bike was a person; a son or daughter, possibly a father, mother, grandmother, grandfather – teacher, doctor, priest, etc – not something to treat as an inanimate object.

Lance has to be the WORST bicycling advocate ever. He let him off way too easy. Screw ESPN, Kornheiser and Lance’s advocacy skills. Advocacy FAIL.
