Was the debate in Cycling this intense?
Technology has made today's racing bicycles a far cry from the 1970's. Know one seems to be complaining.
Ken, you need to look at the one hour record and the controversy around that in the early '90s before you use cycling as an example. The UCI also does not allow riders to use the fastest posible bikes or equiptment available. Wouldn't riders in a road race be able to go faster with aero-bars, disk wheels, and all the other fancy equiptment? There is also a minimum weight allowed for a bike durring a race, again, not being able to use the latest technology.
