Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Right, I didn't know if that affected the bikes in some way that the governing bodies made them illegal for a reason besides "it's different".

Yeah I agree. There certainly isn't a weight advantage, and any possible aerodynamic advantage is lost in the price and ugliness.
