I thought I'd post this up because I was quite touched by it.
It's not really main stream so not many people will ever see it - it's about the first african world cycling team - yes I can see you rolling your eyes and clicking off here - but give me and the story a chance.
It's about how it prevents rape - yes you did read that correctly.
It is how ALL the teams riders give 10% of their winnings to this end - can you just see our multi-million spoilt brat footballers doing anything similar?
It is a bit of a long story and maybe you do need a little bit of cycling background knowledge to fully appreciate how meaningful all this is but it will gladen your hearts if you did give it a chance and read the link.
Hope you will.
