The thankless job of the cycling referee


Bill Lambert, an international referee who makes his home down in South Carolina, has been inducted into the US Bicycling Hall of Fame. He was the first American to judge international cycling events in the 1970s -- and Tony Bennett blew his whistle! (How many people can say that?!)

Also this: The US Bicycling Hall of Fame? Who knew. We encourage you to poke around and read up on all the inductees -- know your cycling history, yo! Unfortunately, the site is butt-ugly, and looks rather like the web equivalent of a GNS mall store.

I think it's a sham and a travesty to US cycling history that thier first inductee was not Major Taylor.

Another Major Taylor link.
