1. Great stuff...

...it's always great to see Americans other than Lance having success in cycling. Especially since we seem to have such a bicycle-unfriendly culture, and the sport is dismissed as "one of them funny Yurpeen sports."

2. Indeed.

I guess I'm lucky to live in Portland, where it seems like one can find folks who are somewhat knowledgable. And where one can always find someone to hit the road with on a sunny weekend, which is all we've had this winter.
