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

[Big Daddy]

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.

He will fit in well over there. He can move to the leper colony on Molokai if he needs friends.

if he rides the Bonzai Pipeline on a Trek, he will get me as a lifelong fan.

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.

Yep, when people start defacing them Lance will sneek around at night at take them down.

 

[trailrunner]

Yep, when people start defacing them Lance will probably sue them too.

Fixed it for you.

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.

I think it is hypocrital, they should have protested in the first place. If they did, then my point is useless.

I just signed btw.

Bit harsh to have leprosy and then LA dropped on your doorstep!
