UCI really sucks. :-/

[hespeI2os]

...and how many times have you set the world record on your bike?

@AchromaticRefractor

I agree, but Jack Bobridge broke the record this winter with todays rules, so I dont really care anymore.

Also. UCI changes the equipment rules so often that no record would stand longer than a year.

[AchromaticRefractor]

If the UCI no longer allows bikes such as these, how can they continue to have this as the record? When the javelin changed in track and field, the old record was throw out. It doesn't seem fair to riders nowadays. I'm not trying to take anything away from these athletes, it's still wicked impressive, I'm just sayin...

@RFXCrunner Why not have just have different classes?

How many classes? How many different 4000m pursuits? One for faired recumbents, one for upright disc wheel, and one classic Merckx category? Others? One for Obree's Preying Mantis? Should they lift the ban on tethering yourself to the top tube?

Maybe the UCI are a bunch of dickheads. But somebody has to be. I'm glad the TDF will always be contested on things resembling bicycles. They'll still get better each year, but they'll remain bikes.

@hagenar I think the UCI should have rules, but I don't they should preclude performance. Safety is obviously a concern- recumbents and normal style bikes in the same peloton would be unsafe. But at the same time, if it is faster and still safe, why not allow it? Look at those gorgeous bikes being ridden in this video- products of massive amounts of engineering and study. Who would the governing body of a sport want to prevent the evolution of the sport? Why not have just have different classes?

[hagenar]

I have questions for those of you who say the UCI should have allowed 'Superman' position.

Should the UCI set any limits at all? Should track and ProTour riders be allowed to ride fully faired recumbents? If not, why not?
