Yes and no, DMMy son has taken part in some of the (now cancelled) TTs. He isn't riding a 1500k bike, he's riding a 2nd hand Al-framed bike that cost about £300. He was only 17 when he took part in the rides, and £5-15 per ride is a lot for a lad his age. He wasn't the only one; Clifton has a number of young riders, the sport depends on new blood.

Time Trials. Maybe I misunderstood, I thought that TTs had been cancelled.

Even so, that could be a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or a League of Evil or a League of Potato Scrimshawyers or a Five-A-Side League! A name that has something to do with cycling is traditional for cycling organisations.
Bicycles are vehicles, both from a sensible perspective and in the eyes of the law.Arguably a sports event involving them isn't actually necessary, but there again neither are a very large proportion of the uses of the road by motor vehicles.
