The cycling industry has a problem, one that you may have noticed from time to time but maybe turned a blind eye to. “It doesn’t really affect me, so I’ll just let it go”, you think to yourself. I’m afraid to say that attitude is only serving, on a collective basis, to exacerbate the issue. What is the issue then, that’s so pressing it demands a full investigative piece? Well, someone, somewhere is stealing all the vowels.
Amongst the throng of new releases we get exposed to a greater and greater frequency of launches are ever more devoid of those five key letters (six, if you’re counting Y) that really do aid in guiding the correct pronunciation. Without them, I’d just be Wllm Jns, writing for Cyclngnws. When did this epidemic of vowel theft begin, and moreover what can we do to slow its spread and ultimately bring it to a halt?
