I've seen it on the football boards. I see it in real life. I see it here. Cyclists being attacked by the fans or practitioners of burly sports. Why are they that way?

please enlighten me to as what is worth being jealous over? i may be big but i still actively bike ride myself, just not cross country. as far as bike riding being a sport is why its attacked as you say because it fits in the category of golfing just about anybody can do it.

Cycling is far from golf. It's more like endurance running than anything else. Yet doesn't get any respect from those paralyzed from the neck up.

Hey look, the little puppy is still following us around. How long before all your board protectors show up en masse to defend you from another humiliation?

I love to watch the tour de france, but that is the only race that gets any publicity. We have alot of bikers or cyclists not sure what they are called who train up here in the mountains. Biking or cycling takes alot of desipline and endourance, its just hard for some people to follow. Like I don't like to watch baseball, or tennis, unless it's womens, golf, those sports just bore me.

Why is it that some of these guys driving will give wide berth to someone running on the road, but get mental if it's a cyclist?

I click into a link, and read a subject and before any real thought goes into it you too are bashing at each other doesn't seem to matter what link I go to right now. I don't see a very bright future for you around here.
