Cyclists belong to a family whose brothers and sisters share a passion. They are a kaleidoscopic army of stars of the road and track, of veterans who cannot cut loose from the ties that bind, of ordinary folk who love that sense of belonging to the family as much as they enjoy the ride. The 2009 Faces of Australian Cycling include biological brothers the Suttons, Gary and Shane, who rode together to win Commonwealth gold 31 years ago, and the new kids on the block, Dean and Blair Windsor, who have just begun their competitive journey.
