Since their inauguration, the UCI have been minded - some say very bloody-minded - to be involved in controversies and deliberations on the eligibility of bicycles being used in sport. It’s no new game for them, writes Peter Lumley, beginning with a ban on the recumbent bicycle, a favourite of several times hour record holder Oscar Egg, because he rode in a laid-back, reclining position, while getting the job done. A rider, pedalling a bicycle on a race track and entertaining the public.Yet banned for all that. The best UCI hatchet job - till now, of course - came with them grabbing Graeme Obree far too painfully for it to be called anything like decent, or even necessary. They showed, that as a cycle A bundle of document flying from a flapping bicycle pannier in Switzerland could be race organisation they hardly cared (nor from a think tank meeting on track bicycle racing held locally.

Before handing storyline brings to encourage wider public the recovered papers to Authorities, a local man noted some of the content and support for cycle race disciplines. Truth comments.

It is certainly the case that moves played out under the 1991 - 2005 UCI president Hein Verbruggen demonstrated an arrogance that ought have left the former chocolate bar salesman choking on his very next mouthfull.

[email protected] target for lowering to a “sameness” that the UCI call a level playing field. Verbruggen diligently worked on that personal ideal after the Olympics in Atlanta, and then hammered away to degrade the modern bicycle and modern designers involved in their art. For all the super machinery around today, the result of UCI meddling - and meddling it is - has left the race arena spectator with a very diminished opportunity to see a flow of exotica in bike design, such as modern design thinking could otherwise deliver. In times when spectacle in sport is an important part in attracting public following and sponsor- ship, the UCI quite frankly, blew it big time. Now the London Olympics are their target. Patrick McQuaid appears hell bent on bringing a similar dose of grey and meaningless attitude to the fore. This man, who has a cycling competition background, should surely help deliver better for the fans of cyclesport? His public warning to national cycling Federations in Britain, Germany and Australia show that the UCI is unhappy to see advances in technology. Such an attitude is hardly welcoming to the paying customer. That Pat McQuaid menaces his view does little to assure those who care about cycle sport that the UCI can be trusted to do anything but stunt innovative development. In Copenhagen he said that the Olympic Charter is threatened, that UCI rules are flouted and cutting edge technology and equipment is, well, evil. Remarkably adept at changing goalposts, the UCI has “form” on altering their “rules” without too much publicity. After Graeme Obree had eclipsed the nine year old Francesco Moser one hour record and also won Gold in the World Championships for the individual pursuit, the UCI worked covertly to rule out any further advances into the history books by the ingenious Scot. <more inside more hands on Product managers are taking a more prominent front line stance in the daily workings of Derby distributors Moore Large.

The camp takes place over the weekend of May 3-4. We will learn to ride on the USOC Memorial Park Velodrome, which is located in Colorado Springs. The riders will also get to spend Saturday night at the Olympic Training Center. Three meals from the training center are included along with snacks and lunch at the velodrome on Sunday. During camp riders will learn how to ride on the track. This includes learning the standard means of communication, common riding practices, and predictable riding. All which ensure safety while racing and training on the track. We will also go over the track bicycle in general, cover how to change gears, and give advice on which gears to ride for certain events and training. Finally we will learn about the different track races and get to practice racing! It should be noted that most track racing for juniors is scheduled for the new Boulder Valley Velodrome (BVV) in Erie. In order to race at the BVV riders must have completed a track cycling certification course. This camp is a wonderful opportunity to satisfy the certification process and get a head start on the track cycling season!
