Default Jens Voigt : what a nice thing to do

CSC rider Jens Voigt helped make a blind couples dream come through when he agreed to their request that he cycle their tandem bike and go for a spin with each of them.

That's a great thing. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my heros giving back to their fans.

Cheers Jens.

Jens is a great guy, but if I were on a tandem with a blind guy, I think I would wear a helmet.
Ouch.

Confirms what a great guy Jens seems!

I knew there was a reason I like him so much. That is besides being very honest and open, a real team player, and an exceptional cyclist.
He's got his own web page and boy is it corny, every weird little java trick and animation in the book must be on it, but I still love him.
