It would have been possible to whitewash this piece MAS but we aren't that
kind of publication. This was an opinion piece which is impossible to write
without 'your own personal politics'. I know other media outlets would have
stripped that because it might have offended some people - but that is
cowardly in our view.
And what you are really saying is that you'd like to keep the 'personal
politics' you disagree with out of your mountain biking. The rest of the piece
is full of opinions but you had no issue with those.
Thanks for expressing your opinion. I'm certainly glad you did, but we will
never be content to only publish stories our entire audience is going to agree
with.
