Get em riding this young like they do playing Pop Warner and Little League and viola! instant farm system.
Too bad it doesn't seem to be a focus of any clubs/teams (that I know of) to start kids riding in a structured environment like the euros do.
Oh well. When I make my fortune, I'll start a juniors team!

Most kids in this country prefer mtn biking over road riding. My son (now 16) has been racing cross country MTB for several years. Getting him to road ride with me is like pulling teeth, but he is just coming around to the opinion that riding a road bike helps him with aerobic endurance - but he still thinks it's boring.MShaw said:...and we wonder why the US can't field more GOOD pros...

Face it - football, baseball, basketball are the predominant sports in USA. NASCAR will always be more popular than cycling (what a terrible thought).
