Lance &amp; his mom&nbsp;have actually done a lot to promote biking for all purposes. They, along with Greg LeMond, have been heavily involved with the League of American Bicyclists for some time promoting bike-friendly legislation and federal funding for bikes in the transportation bills&nbsp;in DC. They regularly lobby DC lawmakers with LAB staff and help LAB raise money so&nbsp;LAB has&nbsp;the staff to lobby Congress. Not to mention that just getting people interested in cycling at any level- road racing, mtn biking, BMX-gets more people on bikes, which creates more demand for everything bike-related - recreational&nbsp;and functional.&nbsp;Lance has gotten a lot of people interested in cycling. <br>
