Manage episode 357824224 series 1089746
The bitter economic headwinds prove too much for some in the peloton of cycling journalism.
It's a rough old road, especially when you ride it on the rivet in the bloody gutter of vulture capitalism.
The sport is pricey to do, and to cover. Advertising is a hard sell. Memberships and subscriptions can only take you so far. Old pros lose the wheel; newcomers hope to find some form.
Above the course floats the vulture capitalist, riding the ill wind, never missing a musette. It's all feed zone for that scavenger, from the grand depart to the finish line.
Give a thought to your favorite former cycling scribe the next time you can't find any of that information that wants to be free. There's ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Unless you're a buzzard.
