It's good that there are some positive role models being honored, not just politicians chronies and 'Celebs'

Not a fan of the honours system but well done to BW for being recognised for his great feats.

Yeah, fair enough. But how hard can it be to ride a bicycle? It's not as if it's football, is it?
And the Tour de France? I saw the route on a map. They miss out massive bits. Tour de Schmace!
Why not Sir Giggs or Lord Rooney? Class bias, that's why!
The only gong that means a thing is the Sports Person Thingy, which Zara Thingummy won, so it must be special because she did that horse thing that everyone remembers like they know where they were when Kennedy shot that bloke in the library.
I was glad that Lord Moynihan got it for steering those rowing blokes all those years ago, but why didn't the eight blokes who did all the rowing get anything? They had to work much harder!

He's not obliged to accept it just like Danny Boyle..

Very true, I'm sure he considered that option as well.
Can't say I blame Boyle though, perhaps he's embarrassed after the monstrosity* that was the Olympic opening ceremony?
*IMO

I'm sure he will accept on behalf of cyclists as much as himself. One thing is certain though, wiggo is his own man and he will do exactly as he wishes. Quite right too.
