Armstrong Gets a Bike Basket on Letterman
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}David Letterman found just the right bicycle accessory for Lance Armstrong (search).
Monday on the "Late Show with David Letterman" (search) he gave the seven-time Tour de France (search) winner a basket, complete with gaudy plastic flowers as well as a sign reading "7 Time Winner."
"It goes right on the handlebars," Letterman said. "You see what I'm talking about."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Armstrong appeared the show to talk about winning his seventh and final Tour and life after racing. After receiving his gift, Armstrong recalled his first visit as a guest in Letterman's studio, when he got a beaded seat cover of the kind that used to be popular among New York taxi drivers. Of course, his was shaped to fit a bicycle seat.
"Dave cut one out the shape of a saddle, with just the beads and said, 'Here, I thought you might like this.'" Armstrong said. "But the two together, like the seat and this I might come back for No. 8."
