If one were braindead enough to believe that in order to be verifiable something must be available on a website which is authoritative independent and also does not support or endorse the subject then yes But thats not what WPV says The fact that he was recognised by CTC is trivially verifiableas is the age and stature of CTC as an organisation as is the standing of Sheldon Brown as a cycling expert verified from reliable independent sources An American bicycle mechanic warranted an obituary in The Times of London Doesnt that suggest to you that perhaps the cyclists in the discussion are right and the naysayers are to use a technical term wrong
