Where is Cycle Sport available

> I picked up the October 2003 Cycle Sport on my business trip yesterday.
It is a great issue for classic rendezvous members. This issue is the first
of a two part set of interviews with all of the living winners of the Tour
de France. Also, there are articles and "road tests" on the bicycles used
in several tours, including a General Lucifer single speed from 1910 and a
Mercier from 1966. One of my favorite comments in the interviews is from
the 1966 winner, Lucien Aimar. "A rider who crashes on a descent is not a
descender. In 1967, I was clocked at 140 kph (84 mph) on the descent of the
Ventoux. Some years later, I passed over the summit of the Turini eight
minutes behind Eddy Merckx. By the bottom of the descent, I had joined
him--I had gone twice as fast as him. That shocked me. I told myself on
that day that I would never ride the Tour de France again." Lucien Aimar
participated in nine Tour de France and was the roommate of Jacque Anquetil.
