Wear Yellow

I do not wear the yellow wrist band because I never heard of it. However, I do ride a yellow bike with yellow bar tape, a yellow saddle and yellow tires; I also wear a yellow jersey. My taste in the colour yellow has less to do with emulating Lance and more to do with being very visible on the road.

All Nike Stores and outlets also sell the bands for $1. All the proceeds go to the Foundation.

I bought mine from a guy on Ebay. He was selling it for the $1 that he paid for it (some people were charging $10-20 for them and making a profit). If you like Lance or not (I do by the way), you have to admit his story is inspirational. He is using his celebrity to get some money to help find a cure for cancer. That's what the wristbands are for. They are only a $1. The goal is 5 million of them. Everyone should get one.

I've had mine on for almost a month now.  A friend gave one to me, one to my husband and one to each kid.  

I've never heard of a Nike store; there are many good shops that sell running shoes including Nikes, but not just Nikes. I will look up my favourite Running Room and see if I can get one. It is a very good cause.

I have seen them at every bike shop around here, You will have an easier time finding on at a bike shop

Just look who's wearing yellow now

Can you say "Jump on the bandwagon Mr Bush"

Yes... I've still got mine on... Hey, you can see it in the photo at left! And now J Lo and Angelina Jolie are wearing them too... I saw GWB had his on the other day... Apparently he and Lance are friends... I wear this thing every day... I wear office attire to work, we are business casual, so it's not suits and pantyhose, but it's still nice clothing, the good shoes, and a yellow rubber band.... LOVE IT.

If I have my facts right, after Lance won his first TdF, he was invited to the Texas state capital for a special ceremony to recognize his accomplishment. The governor of Texas at that time was GWB and they've been friends ever since. As you probably already know, Lance is from Austin.

I am on the hunt for one as we speak. Actually on the hunt for several. I am going to try a local bike shop this weekend.

Yes, I heard that... and read it in the book... "Every Second Counts".... Lance has alot of different friends.... Robin Williams, GWB.... to name a few...

Have you tried niketown.com???? They will charge you 6.50 for shipping and handling, but that's the breaks. I bought one for $1.00 and paid $6.50 s/h......

Why not order them directly from laf.org?

I don't remember why... I think it was because they were only offering them in $10 packs and at that time I didn't know what I was going to do with 10 yellow wristbands... I know, I know... Looking back, it makes better sense to just order 10 thru laf, rather than order 1 measly band and pay all that shipping and handling. I bought the others at a bike store, though, and gave them to my parents... They are still wearing them!

I bought the ten pack, everytime someone asked what mine was or where they could get one, I gave them one of the extras. There was a recent article in the local paper about the scarcity at local stores (Academy, Dillard's), which has made them even hotter and harder to find.
