Tour de France champ Lance Armstrong apparently changed into his super hero costume recently as one published report says the cancer survivor is also a crime fighter.

A report claims Lance turned into a one-man police tour de force recently, according to the Enquirer.

The supercyclist was biking with a pal near the beach in Santa Monica, when a mugger pushed down a woman and sprinted off with her purse.

Who knew they even had muggers in Santa Monica?

Lance reportedly turned around, raced after the scruffy bad guy and bumped him to the turf with a crafty front-wheel whack.

The reports says Lance snagged the purse from the sprawled perp, who reportedly then beat feet and ran off. The report then claims that Armstrong cycled the snatched satchel back to its owner and resumed his recreational ride.

Lance fans will love this one and it's nice to see a positive story like this one leak out.  Kudos to The Enquirer for grabbing and reporting on the scoop.
