I was riding my bike back from a job interview when I see the black Lance Armstrong zooming down the road. After a full out sprint for three blocks I catch up to him. Immediately it was apparent that he had no intention of slowing down or stopping to conduct an interview, as he was a man on a mission. Nonetheless, as long I did not impede his progress he was happy to converse. Although luckily he was forced to dismount at Portland’s longest traffic light at the hectic intersection of NE Sandy/E Burnside/SE 12thAve, which granted the opportunity for the photo op.TIME: 12:55
