Few Americans would question the importance of cancer research, and the fact that Lance talks about it makes it all that much more significant. For his comments about bike commuting to take root, though, I think he'd really have to push it--much harder, say, than he's pushed cancer research. That said, if there's anyone iconic enough to start a successful, widespread let's-start-bike-commuting campaign, Lance would be the sure bet. I sincerely hope it happens.

However we do have a long way to go before bicycles are really part of the culture. He’s put a lot of work into the LAF and cancer research, so I’d expect this cause to get some good support too.

Lance has the profile and political clout to truly advance our cause nation wide. I didn't think it would again happen since his retirement from The Tour. But once again I find myself spouting, "Viva Lance". This to me is one of the most exciting announcements for the future of bikes as transportation in the US.
