This is kinda cute. It could be like a little village. We could have 'The Clinic', 'The Cafe', 'The Bike Shop' for gear etc.

I vote we have a village Cobbler. I think Cobbling is a trade in sore need of a "comeback." Cause I need a guy who can make a nice stable running shoe.....and that guy can't get kids from 3rd world nations to make them......unless he just can't do the things their delicate little hands can and then he at least needs to pay them double their parent's weekly salary. I am sure that .50 cents will not raise the price of my shoes too much...

I am very happy that the pro forum will not be clogged anymore with tired doping threads.

Its very discouraging for beginners having a peek at the pro forum and finding out that all is talked about is doping. Its not good for kids at all and it does nothing to help the sports image.

I think a nice fern will brighten the place up too:

Sadly though I don't see how some (*not all*) talk of doping can be seperated from pro cycling.

Do we mention David Millar's ride to Barcelona today but have to visit here to post about his past with Cofidis and Dr Losa? Do we discuss Oscar Pereiro but have to come here to mention Landis and the 2006 Tour? Can we discuss Astana without making reference to the way the team was born from the wreckage of Liberty Seguros following Puerto, or without mentioning Vinokourov?

It seems hard to seperate it all, too artificial.

So there's an official doping section, oh boy.what happens if you talk about it in the road section.

You are tied down to a chair and your eyelids are glued open. You are then subjected to endless repeats of the Versus pre-Tour show with an extra large helping of mooning over Lance by Bob Roll and Paul Sherwin. By the time the punishment is finished, you love The Lance and become a mindless robot who believes everything he and his PR people say.

Robert the Muppet already went through the treatment, so you can see the result is something to truly be feared.

Can I have my own room at the clinic??
Certainly. You are a doctor, after all. ;)

I think he's talking about "Cobblestones", and being silly. That's a good thing, right?

If I were part of the Illuminati then I would paint my helicopters pink. No one would suspect us until it was too late.

That's a brilliant idea.

5000 gallons of pink paint to the Cyclingnews hangar, stat!

We'll do the blimp too ;)

I'd paint mine in green camouflage so that nobody would ever see them........
