Four old stories

In response to requests I have posted four old stories from the August
1988 issue of Cyclops USA interspersed with updates on the Cyclops home
page at http://home.pacbell.net/learnest/cyclops/. Here are the titles
and summaries:

What makes cycling grow?
The number of cyclists is cyclic. The reasons are enigmatic.
http://home.pacbell.net/learnest/cyclops/grow.htm

Who will control cycling in 2001?
USCF has held power for 47 years. Will there be a successor soon? [The
answer turned out to be an ugly “Yes.”]

Officer Rupp, Living Legend
Protecting the roads against cyclists is a tough job, but Rupp does it.
http://home.pacbell.net/learnest/cyclops/rupp.htm

Coors is safer than tea
Alexi Grewal won a gold medal in cycling at the Los Angeles Olympics
shortly after admitting that he took ephedrine during an international
stage race. This was facilitated by U.S. Olympic Committee and cycling
officials who had a conflict of interest that would not be fixed for
another 16 years. A number of other political machinations were also
involved.

RIP, Officer Rupp. Your run-in with the law was a tale told well.

Thanks for the articles Les. Brought back some fond memories of my
stint in the NorCal/Nev peleton with SJBC.
