He had to get on the juice in order to be competitive, and he had to lie about it in order to continue. He went all in. Unfortunately, as often happens in a web of lies, one must tell more and more lies in order to maintain the facade. This sort of thing has happened to a lot of people in history. Doesnt make it right but i do understand how it could happen and that era of cycling when he was winning was the only time i ever cared about who won the tour de france and that era also is the reason i got into cycling. I think the doping most likely continues in this sport to this day, albeit they have moved on to different things in order to stay ahead of the testing. Even ameatures are doping. Some day there will be another doping scandal in Cycling. Lance Armstrongs story is just another chapter in a long book that is still being written.

Of course the guy in the car in new york city is jealous and disrespectful to bike messengers. That car brained asshole won't get a dent in his stupid little car, but the biker could die. They are risking their lives and the car driver isn't risking shit sitting in their 3 ton hunk of metal. So pathetic and weak.

I imported Bob Jackson Bicycles for 5 years. Sadly, England does not have a trade agreement with the USA and every frameset I imported was socked with a $150 fee. Amazing. Chinese junk comes free.

True, though they are two very different sets of customers. Someone buying a high end bike isn’t looking for a cheap Chinese bike, just as someone buying a cheap commuter isn’t going to buy a hand built bike.

My first viewing 🎉😂🎉 in 2006 i was eating lunch in Morzine, not knowing we were about to witness Floyd Landis destroy his career. I was wearing my 1987 "Red Zinger" cap, and a Danish journalist asked me where i got it; he said he was in Colorado that year(!)... and i said that Lemond's Team Manager gave it to me... no idea who this journalist was.

Come on! Our finnish Long distance runners olympics champions used strong stimulant amfetamin already in 1930s! The blood doping was the first time used by the west German footballers in 1954! The british cyclist Simpson died amfetamin over dose in 1967 Tour de France! Merckx and our Long distance runner Lasse Viren they both used blood doping in 1972! Moser used blood doping 1973-1984!!

I think it's time I said thanks to Mr Fixie, since I've been watching this each year now, as Paris-Roubaix approaches, for I don't know how long. It says above that you posted it 9 years ago, but I'm sure it's been up much longer. Anyway, thank you for making this wonderful piece of film-making available.
