message: Hey  first you wrote "UCI decided to not award World Cup standings points as just two races were ran." and later you wrote that Henrique Avancini is the 2020 XCO winner.
But I only heard in the news that this year the UCI will not award an overall winner. 
According to RedBull: "There will be no overall title awarded for 2020 due to there only being two race rounds, but that doesn't mean racing at Nové Město will be meaningless."
Can you please show me a statement from the UCI that Avancini is the overall winner. Malo95 (talk) 10:02, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Talk:National Bicycle Association

message: I’m an 85 yr old former biker from Marin Co, CA, who rode those fabulous hills and trails for 60 some years. I never, ever rode without a yellow jacket or vest, yellow on my helmet, maybe yellow gloves and socks, etc., and a blinking light - every time. Why? Because drivers don’t see bikers - even in broad daylight - even if they have on the hottest Tour outfits, unless they’re bright. I’ll bet 25 times at a stop a driver said to me
in sunshine, “I wish every biker wore bright clothes and a light - I just don’t see them!” As drivers you know that’s true. So do I. When I tell that to bikers they give me the finger and the f word.
In 2021 nearly 1000 cyclists were killed, and many more badly injured in vehicle accidents. I propose to your 
fine organization that you start a campaign of “Lights and Brights 24/7”. Push it with the bicycle stores with posters, placards. Educate riders that as much as they hate the cars the cars often don’t see them!
It might be tough on the riders who bought fancy new, dark outfits, but it’s their butts that will be bleeding on the road or worse, not the drivers’.
I’m sure you’ve studied this before, but the facts are obvious: BE SEEN!
Thanks for all you do.

This link is to a timelime (its reliability does not concern me at the moment) of the history of bicycle. If we click date "Feb 17, 1895", a small window pops up with the history of the Velodrom. There we read that is was built  "στην Αθήνα στο Νέο Φάληρο" (="in Athens, Neo Faliro"). This is supposed to be an argument for the version of the article that user Jjik43 favors. Alas! The small text on the Velodrome in the "window" is just copying the earlier, problematic version of the el/WP article, the one that has been finally corrected by sysop Cubic Star, following my suggestion to remove "Athens" as location of the Velodrome. Furthermore, consider how many news websites, magazines, newspapers, uploads at social media etc. may mention "Athens", just because they were coping information from el/WP (the article had been created in 2016). ——Chalk19 (talk) 06:36, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Also, the rest of the article still needs its citations because it still seems like mostly original research and wrongly assumed.

WORLD RECORD - Great Britain (Men's team sprint cycling) Great Britain's men smash another world record, clocking the fastest time in the men's sprint in a time of 42.747 seconds.
Source
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19040196
But on the article it says:
The current men's world best time is 42.450 seconds, set by the British team of Jamie Staff, Jason Kenny and Chris Hoy in heat 6 of the Team Sprint event at the 2008 Olympic Games. This is referred to as a "world's best" time, not a "world record", as the race is held over three laps of a track not a set distance in metres (velodromes can vary in exact length).
So, is the BBC right? Have they now decided to accept World Records if they are set on full size tracks. Or does WIKI know more than the BBC?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.217.237.42 (talk) 17:20, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Considering panniers were commonly worn for nearly a century and frequently referenced in eighteenth century literature, someone seeking information specifically on that topic and thus searching for the word "pannier" may not see the small "see also" reference. The Encyclopedia Britannica, for example, lists this definition first given it has been in use far longer to describe items of clothing than as a motorcycle accessory.
