Huvitav dialoog Lance Armstrongi pressikonverentsil
Intervjuu lõpp kiskus kiiva, kuna seadeldis recumbent (eesti vaste: lamaratas
) on UCI poolt 1934 a võistlustelt kõrvaldatud.:
OG: Yeah, all that. You've heard of, I assume, a ?recumbent loll' - a sit down loll?
LA: I've heard of it, but I've never tried it.
OG: Never tried it. Well, they claim to have the world record on the flats.
In Paris on July 7, 1933, Francis Faure hour record. by going 45.055 km.
Unfortunately Faure's hour record created a controversy amongst the Union Cycliste Internationale (U.C.I.), the governing body for bicycle races. The controversy was based on whether the Velocar was a bicycle and whether the time records were legal. In February 1934, the U.C.I. decided against Faure's record and banned all recumbents and aerodynamic devices from racing.

Tööpaeval, kui ilm ilus, sõidan 5 km. Puhkepäeval olen korduvalt teinud lausa 7 km.
