Maybe flapping his gums IS athletic. Who knows?
I read somewhere recently that there are some 40 million bikes in the U.S. perhaps many of them just sitting in garages. And cycling is not even a U.S. national pastime. That should mean there are many, many millions of them in the world.
Out of those many millions only 189 started the Tour? That has to be a group of athletes in my book!
In the media business they say ANY publicity is good publicity. His bosses are no doubt happy with him.

Here is a good rebuttal at Bicycling Magazine's web site, to the controversial articles discussed here in the past week or so.

I'm resurrecting this thread so I can express my displeasure at people resurrecting year or two year old threads recently.
If you have something that's relevant to an old thread, start a new one then LINK to
the old one so we don't think someone crashed yesterday or waste our time answering year old questions.
Don't make me pull up the "Safety Bicycle vs. Penny Farthing" thread because I will.

I get fooled by everyone of these zombie threads.
I clicked the link at the start of this thread 3 or 4 times before seeing that it was 8 years old (link would have been long dead).
