Lemond was my hero as a teenager. I spent my teen years as a competitive road cyclist and even was on the US Jr National Team for a year. I did a semester of high school from the Olympic training center. Never got to meet him.
Nowadays both increased road congestion and the whole Armstrong thing have basically killed road cycling in the USA. Personally I no longer ride on the road, only mountain bike, for the former reason above. Too many friends of mine have been runover on the road.
Lemond is/was the real deal.
