  Yes, 25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership.

  I will take the old days when you could track your teams across 8 years. Can't imagine a new fan finding it easy.

  Pick better parents and/or better doping agents.

  The bike industry situation is the same as the future Dutch talent pool discussion , it’s a fakely perceived problem due to an exceptional period that’s come to an end.

  It's all a part of the fun. Sometimes it takes a few races before you can tell who's who and what's going on.

  Every year cycling teams force their fans to memorize the jersey colors of all the teams so you can tell which team is doing what in a race. Not like normal sports where the jersey's and numbers mostly stay the same year after year.

  Genetics? No, mostly PEDS. Armstrong proved that.

  Sadly the number of dorks is decreasing every year. In the US the vast majority are over 40 years. E-bikes are crushing the road bike market.

  Cycling is dying. That's obvious. All you have to do is look at the huge hits the major bike component companies are taking year over year. Then there's the loss of outlets providing coverage and the costs of streaming with those that remain. Add to that the effects of E-bikes on the younger generations. Now figure that it's a sponsor based sport instead of viewer based sport.
