On the day when our Tone resigns and states his legacy as "eudkayshun".. we give you.. the


degree in cycling



Derby University offers this new course.

Covers "all aspects of cycling"

Road racing

time trials

track cycling

mountain biking


Hey.. you forgot SPEEDWAY CYCLING .. the true SPORT in all this


British Cycling are excited .. to point of chafing chamois over all this

But this course is dedicated to those who coach.

That means C+ idiots will not make the grade then Shame. It would have kept them occupied for a couple of years at least.


The course includes the following

pyschology and attitude

physiology


nutrition ]

But IG has already sorted this in his "wonder foods blog" - complete with some nice recipes to try and test and taste

He can cook by the way. He can make a meal out of whatever he finds in his larder or fridge or freezer. We know. We have surprised him and his wife on occasion by just turning up for a socialising We all like cooking. I enjoy cooking with my wife. It's intimate moments of family life after all.. and IG asked around the family for ideas on that thread which we intend to continue as a family group.. but we think a gourmet might actually educate everyone who reads and lurks too

But I mention this for comment. Is this a valuable course given we already have sports and a plethora of "healthy lifestyle" courses

I question its value to this sport as well

Will this degree course spawn legendary cycling greats for our country?

Or promote an interest in cycling for health and commute benefits?

I am not necessarily knocking this course.. and any input from the dedicated cyclists who post to the cycling fora will be most welcome.


For record and to encourage.. no one on this board "hates or disrespects" those who choose to use a bicycle to get around. Theyare fellow road users and their input on any topic is very welcome.

People may disagree .. but then this should be a respectful difference of opinion and no insult should be intended nor taken.

Let us just say .. we all want to enjoy driving and riding. And whilst I appear to question this degree course.. I am only asking the normal questions as would be asked by any member of the public. I definitely do not want our lurks to see this post intended as anything remotely negative.

Where does my degree from the university of life, having graduated from the school of hard knocks, together with a masters in common sense and a Phd in 2I told you so" fit in to this modern education?
