Happy Birthday Lance


Lance Armstrong pauses for a moment to look at a cycling fan's shirt.
He was born September 18 1971, and is 34 years old today.

Lance Armstrong's Birthday


In one of Lance Armstrong’s final interviews as a professional during this year’s Tour de France he mentioned now having more time to pursue his interests in motocross, enduro trips down the Baja peninsula, kite surfing and drinking beer. Arguably one of the world’s most well known athletes and competitors. He is a hero for bringing the world’s attention to cycling and cancer survival. Lance will be missed by many people.
