OK, I just can’t pass this one up! I saw the story about Lance Armstrong and the Radio Shack Team’s attempt to wear the black jerseys with the number “28” to signify the 28 million people living with cancer today on the news last night and I knew that I had to write something about this.

I understand the need for organization and rules for events like this but I really wish that they could have given him a break on this one. I don’t know if Lance had tried to go through the proper channels or procedures first but if he did and was denied then I can see the reason to go for some publicity in this way.

Well, perhaps more of the story will come out soon but I saw a CNN story that quoted Lance as saying “Today, we’re riding for every one of the 28 million people all over the world whose lives and families are affected by this disease…” and I am totally in on that one!

I know that Lance and the organizations that he is affiliated with has made considerable donations to the fight against cancer. Even a portion of the sales from the Indoor Cycle exercise bike that I have been recommending on this site for quite some time now, the Livestrong LS9.9IC, goes towards the fight against cancer.

Anyway, I just wanted to join in and mention that we, at about-bicycles.com, support the Black 28 Jersey Tribute and are proud to display our Jerseys on this site!
