    SIR Chris Hoy should be the template, if you’re a rude person then you’re a rude person.

    Nice article… no doubt the sport is full of d-bags or type A or whatever you want to call your garden variety asshole.
    . If you are old enough to remember the sport pre-Lance then you remember a time that it was not the way it is now. When Lance started winning the TdF the masses (of Americans) became interested in cycling and those with money walked into shops and wanted “a bike like Armstrong rides.” The money POURED into the sport, which in turn only attracted more d-bags. The fact that a person can walk into a bike shop and drop $10k, $12K even $15K on a production bicycle made in China (at Chinese wages) should be sign that the sport is ill. You can now buy a pair of shorts that cost more than the first racing bike I bought.
    Today those same people are turning their backs on the sport. With no American (or even English speaker) close to winning a GT the sport is losing viewership and revenue at all levels. Cycling’s growth rate during the 1999-2007 period was too high to sustain. Like any business that experiences high growth, eventually the growth slows down and may even contract somewhat. The bad news is there will be fewer pro teams, riders will earn less and the industry will contract as a whole. The good news the number of d-bags should decrease as well.

    What I find almost sinister about North American racing cycling’s elite is their absence from the world of bicyclist advocacy. Look, I know roadies have to deal in a certain level of denial We’ve all said “Sure, mom/honey/kids, it’s safe to ride a bike on the streets…” But, when I see any celebrated racing cyclist meeting the Mayor after a bike race and not saying, publicly and privately, “You know, you should really lower the speed limits in your town so cyclists can get around safely…” you really start to wonder.

      yeah agreed. but then they don’t even complain about the things that threaten their own careers, like doping and doper managers. head down, avoid attention, don’t rock the boat, be thankful for the crumbs you’re thrown.
