Default Top Ten Things that LA should do next

10. TdF fantasy camp (watch the commercial at Giro.com for the general
idea). Ride for the Roses is a good idea, but bring it out to the
hinterlands and let us all play.

9. License a set of action figures. Complete with team, team car, TT
bike, stuffed lions, podium girls, teesny little MJ that zips up the
back, chopper, motocam, crazed fans, flags and foam hands for crazed
fans, bike clothing, extra shoes, eensy-weensy LS bracelet, black-tie
tux...

8. License something that would appear in the general money economy and
can be purchased by the typical US consumer. Slurpee cups? Supersized
powerbars? Yellow shirts, bike shorts, hats, socks, shoes, etc. that
appear at *.Marts.

Your turn!

Do a deal with Trek to travel to every city in Virginia and give away free
Madones to guys over fifty who ride 100 miles a week?

Hey, it could work? ;-)

I love your action figure set idea. I'd buy the set - but the Lance figure
has to come with a detachable testicle though. (sorry, couldn't resist...

OK - more realistic suggestions...

Since the riders drink pop on the course, "yellow can" Coke (or Pepsi -
whichever company antes up).

Signature Lance Oakley sunglasses.

FWIW, HP already released a "Live Strong" laptop.

Jersey."

That's inevitable, I think.

7. Take up another sport that is under-represented in the US and
dominated by Europe -- fencing??

If I see a Pacific mtb with a Chris King headset, I'm gonna puke.
