He's a great interview and certainly can be super charming.

But, there's a part of me that thinks he shares some of Joe Papp's bad qualities.  
FBF is suspiciously pin-less... I call schenanigans
Anyone read The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle? (same guy who wrote Lance Armstrong's War & The Secret Race)

Thoughts? Worth the time investment?
@Craig.  Worth 10x the price in my opinion.  Pure gold.
Walsh really does sound like a piece of work

got the following in a NJBWC e.mail just now

NJBWC obtains ADA compliant improvements to the George Washington Bridge - A victory for bicyclists and pedestrians

The Port Authority announced yesterday significant changes to the bicycle and pedestrian paths on either side of the George Washington Bridge. These changes are the culmination of a year+ long effort led by Cyndi Steiner, Executive Director of the NJBWC and included bicycle clubs and other partners on either side of the Hudson River.
 
The changes announced yesterday are the removal of all 171 steps and 6 staircases from the north path, so that a bicycle can be ridden completely from New York City to New Jersey on the north side. Changes also include the removal of the "south hairpin" on the NYC side of the bridge. The changes, plus the replacement of the sidewalks on both sides, will make the bridge ADA-compliant and accessible to all users. The project will also replace the bridge's existing lighting with a more energy efficient system. 
 
Making the bridge ADA-compliant will be in advance of the bridge's upcoming suspender rope/cable replacement project, which would have shut down alternately the south path for four years, and then the north path for the same period.

Gwynna, back in the old days, you could literally buy a pro license for $100. No UCI registered team affiliation required.
Greg Avon, whose home it was run out of, wasn't living in NYC, so I guess it didn't count.

At least this team has possibly one rider living in NYC.

From Wiggo:

“If you could put yourself in your physical form with 30 to 40 kilometers to go, drop yourself out of a helicopter onto Cancellara’s wheel to just see if you can hold it when he goes … that’s an ideal scenario, but obviously, it’s 220 kilometers before that of little French guys coming underneath you, chopping you, calling you a wanker and all this. I have to get through all of that to be in that position to be able to try to stay with those guys when they go. It’s not like a road race, where you can just sit there all day, stop for a wee, come back, pose for the cameras … all that sort of stuff. It’s like no other race.”

Jeff, I'm assuming that was your emphasis in bold but I like to think it was actually Wiggins YELLING that part of the conversation.
