Finally, the last thing I'll say to the people who don't believe in cycling, the cynics and the sceptics, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry you can't dream big and I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.

^That's me^ Believe or not
cileo is an slightly organised and irrevalent look at cycling and sustainable transport in Melbourne, Australia, overseas, and possibly all sorts of stray ephemera that gets caught in between. I adore bicycles (and kittycats), and as Wilf Lunn once uttered, "You learn something new every day if you're not careful....."
Tell people something they know already and they will thank you for it.Tell them something new and they will hate you for it. George Monbiot

I thought that we should all believe in fast-acting EPO?
Miracles? WTF?
Did he thank GOD also?
I only heard that speech on the highlights show, cos I was too tired to stay up on Sunday night, but... it was a bit kooky I thought...?

Read this: Edward F. Coyle, Ph.D
Combine that with a larger heart, low levels of lactic acid build-up and freaky mental discipline. Nope, no drugs. God? He's entitled to whatever beliefs he finds comforting.

It's a bit of a schmaltzy (if that's even the correct spelling of the word) speech but it seems he means everything he said and it's hard to fault anyone for speaking his/her mind and being honest, even if they don't put it across the way we might ourselves.
