Brits are in large part some of the best cyclists in the sport. You have to ignore stupid events like the Tour de France to see it though. Brits excel in the cycling events in the olympics because they crave the strategy it takes to win them. The team chase event really showed how good a team they have, and smart to boot.
Soccer just gets too much press because of how much money is dumped into the sport. There's nothing similar to it in Europe, so it dominates. In the US, we've got 3-4 sports (if you wanna count hockey) that dominate in money and attention.
Better to spread things out like you said, than have all your eggs in one basket.
