Reporting the Great Stories of Cycling HIstory
By
Barry Boyce & Graham R. Jones
Bicycle racing at its highest levels has always fascinated
millions of fans all over the world. What makes cycling
stand out against so many other sports is its unique stadium – ‘the
open road’. From the early days we have images of
lone riders traversing countryside and mountains over roads
built for horse traffic. Today we see the riders surrounded
by dense crowds and supported by a convoy of team cars
with the whole show under the watchful eye of a worldwide
TV audience. Between these two very different times is
a wealth of sporting and world history.
- Will add
richness and depth by delving deeper into the stories that
make
up the past and the present.
- Will ‘educate’ and ‘entertain’ with
cycling trivia, factual data, and accesses to other
excellent cycling resources.
- Will visits
the regions that host the great races.
We will reveal the local history, peoples, geography
and
much more.
- Will build
an archive of fascinating stories and facts with the objective
of retaining the information
for
all time. This above all is our primary objective.
The story
of cycle racing is a story of evolving society and culture.
To lose it in the mists of
time would
be a sorry loss for all of us.
