Austin cyclists organizing to petition city to remove Armstrong from honorary title

Do you guys think Armstrong should have streets, roads, even bikeways named after him?

Can we help these guys out? The cycling community in Austin, Texas is organizing an online petition to remove Lance Armstrong's name from the official Bikeway in downtown Austin. Armstrong was previously honored by the city of Austin by naming the bikeway in his name. Now, a group of cyclists want that changed. Please help these guys out by signing the petition to have Armstrong's name eradicated from this honor.

I have a feeling even if the city/state doesn't do anything you are not going to find those name plates for long at the very least. :D

I'm bringing this up because our friends in Austin are asking for our help to get Armstrong's name removed from a title he shouldn't have. Would you please take a moment and sign the petition? You can use an alternative email instead of your primary email as the site doesn't verify. Thanks for your support.
