I seem to remember Lance Armstrong made jokes about banana Keepers. That was what came to my mind, anyway. When it first came up on this thread, it looked like some guy making a not-so-nice sexual reference - on a women's forum. I had no idea about the earlier discussions about the ride he was working on organizing - doesn't look quite so bad now, if it stays in check.

Having read more about the names of the rides makes more sense, too. I agreed with Zencentury, they sounded degrading. Having read more about the rides, though, they don't sound so bad. Good to see rides are getting started.
