I suppose it's possible that he was the only one.

Has he said that the 'gimps and wobblies' thing is a lie?
Pretty much. Then again, Shane Sutton didn't construct the all-white (as of yesterday) website or hire all those regional events officers.

The bigger horror is that it may say something about us (in the widest possible sense). Podium girls? The all-white cast in 'Cycling' magazine? Those revolting Wiggle ads?

It's an incredibly white sport. The only black cyclists I;ve heard of are Daniel Teklehaimanot (sp?) and Traffic Droid.

well, one cannot argue with that when it comes to elite cyclists, although you've missed the incomparable Bauge.

But, while there are many tens of thousands of black cyclists in London alone, and, doubtless, great numbers in every city in the Great Britain, the organisations and periodicals that (please excuse the clumsiest of phrases) sell our dreams back to us simply don't represent this fact.
