Armstrong's luck running out?

[Capetan Mihali]

A friend of mine got run over by a bus in Manhattan; he survived but they had to use the Jaws of Life to get him out and then staple his head back together.

My pop rode all over the city when he was a (much) younger man, and got hit by cabs at least a half-dozen times, plus getting "doored" countless times.

[mongers]

Not convinced, really city/metropolis ridering is nowhere near as dangerous as people think; there's about 3-4 roads I wouldn't cycle on in central London, probably several dozen around here and in my local conurbation. 

See Guller above, the places you are talking about are not crammed with NYC cabbies

That's an explicit challenge; one day I shall come to NYC and cycle up the length of one of the avenues* and along a whole street.   


*I may have got avenues and streets mixed up with which is N-S and which E-W.


edit:
one of my little challenges for this year/2014 is to do the Arc de Triomphe 'roundabout' and a few of those knobbly avenues they have there.

You probably said that right. Avenues are the long ones.

Yeah I can't understand biking in Manhattan. There are just too many distractions for drivers already (especially crazy cabs) that being on a fast bike is just asking for trouble.

Anyone watching Oprah?

How happy do you think Lance is about the Manti Te'o grease fire?

[CountDeMoney]

How happy do you think Lance is about the Manti Te'o grease fire?

About as happy as Boeing lithium ion batteries.  All of them.

[Legbiter]

So how'd he do? He cry like a bitch and say he was sorry?

You kidding? That attention whore is probably fuming. You don't go on Oprah hoping to keep things quiet. I mean most people had already gotten over it.

[CountDeMoney]

I'm sure Oprah's people have already reached out to T'eo.

coming out on Oprah. Every gay mans dream.

I'm sure the Pittsburgh Steelers will take that into consideration when they draft him.

I'm running about 30 minutes behind the live feed, but no tears yet.  Outside of Armstrong's understandable reluctance to talk about other people, I have been somewhat impressed so far.  Oprah isn't lobbing up softballs and Lance has been relatively forthcoming.

claiming to nail an imaginary chick is unacceptable to them. Raping a real one is fine though.

[CountDeMoney]

People can hate on Oprah all they want, but softballs have never been her gig.

It's fine at Notre Dame too.
