Monkeys on bikes! And for once we don't mean Landis

DerailedUK's usual writing team are trekking around peru in search of a llama with a fondness for two-wheeled leg-propelled vehicles. Or something. Until then, the shiny blue handlebars will rest in a different pair of hands. Normal service of dick jokes will not be interupted by this change.

First of all
The Los Angeles Times has reported the names of the arbitrators in Pink Floyd Landis’ upcoming hearing on May 14th before the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). The (alleged) drug monkey has asked for Christopher Campbell (a former Olympic wrestler) whereas the Organ grinders have got Richard McLaren (not to be confused with a McLaren F1) serving them.This strikes us as rather odd.Who does Landis ask for? He asked for someone who’s from a sport dominated by steroids, drugs and other body enhancing substances – Genius.

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?
