    “• The UCI needs to develop a long-term strategic plan for cycling;”

    How long has the UCI been in existence?

    I just about Peed My Pants with laughter. Especially when I read their to do list of “To focus on the development of Women’s Cycling’ This is when I DID Pee my pants with laughter!

    In the early 90’s, back when I was a yung un’, I was informed that the UCI was going to put up to vote whether or not a woman who was menstruating should be allowed to race? Hmmm, let me think about this, I replied: “During a 3 week stage race, that could take out the whole field? Maybe you could lock us in the Broom wagon, to follow the race till that awful, unthinkable flow stopped? Then could we continue the race? How about this? Do you think we women would lie about being on the rag? Or on the Chamy…. You know, we WILL all lie to you about this, so you’re gonna have to do panty check before the race, then we’d just use tampons, then you’d have to do string check… Are you getting the point here, Sir? Where are you from? Holland? What’s your name? Hein something? You are our new President? WOW! Looks like you are going to be a great asset to helping Women’s Cycling”

    So, you can see why I had to go change my undies right now and it didn’t have anything to do with ‘the flow’. It was the ‘other flow’ of pee that comes with hysterical laughter.

    I do wonder if they ever got around to voting on that item on the agenda? I doubt it….they are still looking into it, I’m sure….When they get that one voted on, I’m absolutely positive they will start on ‘the Development of Women’s Cycling’ In the meantime, I’m sure I’ll hit menopause and won’t have to worry about their vote.

    so let me get this straight… they’ve given themselves a mandate… no, not really a mandate, but rather a list of suggestions that are really what should have been their job description from the outset, but then they want to appoint a self appointed commission that they want the rest of us to believe is independent but is made up primarily of insiders to oversee them in their implementation of the list of suggestions that really should be what they were supposed to do all along? Is anyone following me? Frankly I’m not sure I’m following myself at this point but I can promise what I just wrote makes more sense then how the UCWhy is acting… but then what do you expect from a group that has been complicit in the destruction of the sport they were formed to serve?

    Makes me glad I’m retired. I’d be really pissed about now if my livelihood was in some way dependent upon these morons…

      yep, exactly, they fund a report that comes back saying ‘hey you’re doing a great job (and paying us, so we won;t criticise too much!) but you miiiiight want to try these recommendations – which are essentially your job in the first place, but we won;t say that…’ …they are nutters.

    Total schade, dass der Artikel über den Anhänger schon viele Jahre alt ist und die 49kg Gewicht waren nur damals…
