By Carlton Reid, at BikeBiz.com: Sony and Columbia Pictures say their proposed movie about Lance Armstrong "would not be complete" without real-life stories from people inspired by Armstrong's "perseverance, courage and survival." Sign a binding online contract, and your experiences could cameo in the movie that's expected to place Matt Damon in the leading role. The Lance biopic will be based on Armstrong's autobiography, “It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life” More information: www.sonypictures.com/movies/lancearmstrongproject (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=mticbsbab.0.i8qbbsbab.8yk869n6.2308&p=http%3A%2F%2Fw...) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bringing your children to the Skinny Tire Festival?
