Portland, Oregon won't build a mile of road without a mile of bike path. You can commute there, even with that weather, all the time.

More quotes by Lance Armstrong
Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.
Lance Armstrong
My mom was such a strong character. I don't want to say she was like a man, but she was tough.
Lance Armstrong
My greatest point is my persistence... However down I am, I fight until the last ball.
Lance Armstrong
What makes a great endurance athlete is the ability to absorb potential embarrassment, and to suffer without complaint.
Lance Armstrong
Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on?
Lance Armstrong
I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life.
Lance Armstrong
I'm not willing to put a percentage on the chances but I will no longer rule it out.
Lance Armstrong
We sped on, across the plains, toward Metz. I hung back, saving myself. It is called the Race of Truth. The early stages separate the strong riders from the weak. Now the weak would be eliminated altogether.
Lance Armstrong
Marathons are hard because of the physical pain, the pounding on the muscles, joints, tendons.
Lance Armstrong
I wanted to live, but whether I would or not was mystery, and in the midst of confronting that fact, even at that moment, I was beginning to sense that to stare into the heart of such a fearful mystery wasn't a bad thing. To be afraid is a priceless education. P 99
Lance Armstrong
Cycling is so hard, the suffering is so intense, that it’s absolutely cleansing. The pain is so deep and strong that a curtain descends over your brain….Once someone asked me what pleasure I took in riding for so long. ‘PLEASURE???? I said.’ ‘I don’t understand the question.’ I didn’t do it for the pleasure I did it for the pain.
Lance Armstrong
The Europeans look down on raising your hands. They don't like the end-zone dance. I think that's unfortunate. That feeling - the finish line, the last couple of meters - is what motivates me.
Lance Armstrong
The body is telling the mind to stop. The mind is telling the body to shut up.
Lance Armstrong
It's funny, because I have periods where I just kind of go dark. I don't tweet, I don't talk, I don't interview, and then I have times where I do.
Lance Armstrong
Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that's not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.
Lance Armstrong
I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.
Lance Armstrong
I have never doped … I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one.
Lance Armstrong
I am just coming into my best years. This year I did new things stretching and abdominal work.
Lance Armstrong
The ban doesn't have anything to do with Livestrong or my ability to work in [the cancer] community. Perhaps it speeds it up. I don't know the examples in Great Britain of athletes who have fallen. I know the examples in the United States - the Tiger Woods, the Michael Vicks, even the Bill Clintons - people who are still out there able to work.
Lance Armstrong
Well, you better ride like you stole something 'cause you are about to win a stage in the Tour de Fance.
Lance Armstrong
