Dumbass,

I retract all of my previous support of the UCI stick-in-the-mud
mandatory diamond frame rules. Clearly, the Tour de France,
and even more so, the Ronde van Vlaanderen, would be greatly
improved when contested by unstable speeding pillboxes.
Cycling has only begun to scratch the surface of its
spectator appeal - NASCAR has nothing on this for
wreckage potential.

I can hardly wait for the cyclocross version!

I kept hoping Godzilla would come to crush and destroy all that
moves.

Perhaps the UCI could run an event/fundraiser right after the TDF for
these special athletes.
