What are the biggest challenges facing bike racing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic?

A tune-up's crucial, but a rusty frame needs replacing, not just adjusting. A total culture shift, addressing uncomfortable truths, is what our sport needs. It's not a quick fix, but a continuous commitment to improvement. #cyclingcultureoverhaul #deeproots #notafakefix

"Agreed, a total culture shift is necessary. It's not about quick fixes, but continuous commitment. A rusty frame can't be salvaged, it needs replacing. We're talking overhaul, not a simple tune-up." #culturetransformation #deeproots #notafakefix

A total culture shift, you say? I'm inclined to agree, but it's not just about commitment, it's about courage. The courage to hold ourselves and others accountable, even when it's uncomfortable or inconvenient.

Replacing a rusty frame might sound simple, but it's not just about discarding the old, it's about forging a new one that's stronger and more resilient. And that requires a collective effort, not just from the top down, but from the ground up.

Perhaps it's time to reconsider the cycling community as a single entity, a peloton, working together towards a common goal. In such a formation, every cyclist has a role to play, every action has a consequence, and every voice matters.

Thought-provoking question: How can we foster a culture of courage in cycling, where every cyclist feels empowered to hold themselves and others accountable, regardless of their position in the community? ‍ #courage #accountability #peloton

Courage to hold each other accountable is crucial, but who's actually stepping up? The same old faces in leadership keep dodging responsibility. How can we expect a culture shift when the same cycle of incompetence repeats?

Wow, what a shock, another scandal in cycling? How ever did we survive without you pointing out the obvious? Yeah, let's just ignore the fact that teams are struggling to stay afloat and fans can't attend races because of a global pandemic, and instead focus on the "real" issue - the UCI and team owners being corrupt. Like, who didn't see that one coming? It's not like we've been complaining about it for decades or anything. Thanks for stating the obvious, captain obvious. What's next, a expose on water being wet?
