This article talks only about road racing in depth. So I propose a move to bicycle road racing (road racing is autosport), which would make this article really skinny. Phlebas 00:07, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Skid kids??
What is skid kids? It was just added to bicycle racing events, and I have never heard of it. Thanks. Julius.kusuma 17:49, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] I've heard...
that instead of stopping to go to the bathroom, bicycle racers on long races just go in their pants. Is that true?
- Sometimes. Although most prefer the more "civilized" method of pulling a pant leg up and "doing" it over one side. Preferably this is during a slight and straight downhill. Otherwise, teammates may be enlisted to push that rider along while he is doing it. Julius.kusuma 17:21, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recumbent Bikes?
The paragraph on recumbent bikes seems out of place here, as it talks about their advantages in general, whereas the general page on recumbent bikes has information about racing. Maybe it should be reworded? Pjc51 21:14, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
