The article says cycling is a sport for geeks. On the contrary, it has a long history of being blue collar, especially in Europe. If cycling is for geeks, so is auto racing, football, running, tennis, billiards, etc.
I think it's referring to the performance-orientated nature of modern cycling. Like many sports it has become a highly technical pursuit that requires exceptional levels of attention to detail.
