It is possible I am wrong, but I doubt it. Like all fads the rise was spectacular, attracted the luvvies who just had to be seen enjoying the latest "Must do" and became the talk of the media who know a good thing when they see it.It's equally possible that he is so wrong. We all have to buy a certain type of bike that smokin Joe approves of before we can even consider that there's a sustainable boom in cycling. Talk about elitists.
In the seventies it was jogging, the eighties saw the celebs sitting in the front row at snooker matches, in the nineties everyone who was anyone had a Ducati or a Honda Fireblade in the garage. Once the novelty of whatever craze wore off running went back to the athletes, snooker was reclaimed by fag smoking near do wells like myself and motorcycling returned to the dirty fingernail brigade.
