Capt'n Lt. Cmdr. Overlord Dan is quoted in the NYTimes (aren't they his enemy):

I can talk to that other paper. I am also quoted here.

For all of you that are fans of Beach Volleyball I am sorry for throwing that sport under the proverbial bus but I figure that the argument for against cycling are the same as arguing beach volleyball which has much less year round appeal than an indoor velodrome.

non-scientific polls on websites are dumb.

All we have is animosity in the parks.

Excerpt from an insightful oped piece in the NYTimes:

I choose my riding style mindful of my own safety and that of my neighbors, but also in pursuit of happiness. Uninterrupted motion, gliding silently and swiftly, is a joy. It’s why I ride. And it’s why Stephen G. Breyer says he rides, sometimes to work at the Supreme Court: “The advantages? Exercise, no parking problems, gas prices, it’s fun. An automobile is expensive. You have to find a place to park and it’s not fun. So why not ride a bicycle? I recommend it.” I don’t know if he runs red lights. I hope so.

USADA's response to UCI (thanks to Lt Dan "Green Flash" for the link)

If you like watching UCI getting it's ass handed to it in print you'll enjoy that read.

Not sure if anyone posted this one already, but if not, it's a good simplistic NYT graphic/video explaining the match sprint....

Good link Neil...one of my facebook friend of friends has been using wikipedia to try and figure out track cycling to no avail. Thanks!

Perhaps I'm getting old but I find it ridiculous that the words "doping," "banned," or any other reference to WHY he is "returning" are all omitted from this so called news piece.
