It's all to do with their emnity towards News International and the Murdochs. The latter support cycling, through their sponsorship of both British Cycling and Team Sky, plus editorial support from The Times following the appalling injuries Mary Bowers, a Times journalist, suffered when she was hit by a truck in London.
In the mind Paul Dacre this makes cycling a fair target for the Mail, and it resonates a lot with his readership who don't like anything that isn't 'normal'.
