Michael Aisner says Cycling TV needs a big change for the sport to survive.

This guy's documentaries of the early Colorado stage races were works of art, imo. I used to watch them in theatres in Colorado Springs and that's what made me get rid of my Schwinn Varsity and get a real road bike in the late '70s.

And he's exactly right. Cycling isn't a self selling spectator sport for Americans. You have to package a program to sell it over here and nobody does it better than Aisner. His promotional efforts are probably one of the main reasons cycling is so popular in Colorado today.
