Cycling is based so much on form, on aesthetics, on class - the way you carry yourself on the bike, the sort of technique you have.
The first time I rode a bike I was four or five. I crashed into the back of a car.
It seemed romantic but also tragic - people would be winning but then lose it all, or crash but fight on, break bones but get back on their bikes and try to finish. Just getting to the end was seen as an achievement in itself.
