Lance Armstrong seems to have the right idea. He's opening up a shop in his home town of Austin, Texas that will be dedicated to encouraging people to use their bikes to commute and get around. Says Lance:
"This city is exploding downtown. Are all these people in high rises going to drive everywhere? We have to promote (bike) commuting," Armstrong said Wednesday, gazing up at the towering condos rising next to the site of his new shop. "This can be a hub for that."
Way to go Lance. Enjoy the article.
