Lets talk cycling

As a sport?
Completely fucked - the last 5/10/15 years and beyond dominated by thugs who took better drugs and didnt ( took a long while to get caught). Those that did get caught claim they were doing the same as everyone else. Those that didnt probably made up the last two or three of the peleton.
Now? We have a supreme sportsman in Froome being slagged off by experts, colleagues and spectators alike- "he hasnt been caught but he will be" is the perceived wisdom- again- where is the line being drawn on who is the "natural winner- no-one knows so take your pick
As a spectator sport-?! Do me a favour - drive for hours and park on a mountainside, wait for hours, see the cyclists come....there they go..if you're lucky you might get an empty bottle of water or one full of piss thrown at you. Then wait to get the real bounty- a sponsors pack of gel thrown off the back of the cavalcade. pack up, drive on and do the same tomorrow.
As a leisure/commuting activity- life expectancy of a Polish Hurricane fighter pilot during the battle of Britain- still doesnt explain why getting on the bike turns you into a cunt that apparently can weave everywhere, drive through metal, cut up the inside, all the time wearing a camera so you can chop the footage and post it up on you tube you busy snidey cunt.
thoughts?

It's a method of transport like driving.
Adding a competitive element pleases only mongs.

I have to admit I watched one of the stages last week while I was off work.
Strangely captivating....I was smoking lots of weed though.

It's bullshit. Try being a cyclist on a British road and you might see more cunty drivers than cyclists.
Road rage is rife in Britain as it is, cyclist just give theses counts another excuse to behave Irrationally behind the wheel

I went to watch the spring classic Leige Bastogne Leige last year.
Did the 105 mile route the day before, then on race day you get up and close to the pros around the start line.
You can chat to them, get pictures, get real close and personal.
Then during the race, a coach drove us around 5 key points to watch the riders before we go to the finish line. Plenty of time to soak up atmosphere and have a few beers.
It was on that last corner, the guy Dan Martin (who won the race the year before) crashed right in front of me...

I don't get it and like Tennis, if you like it there is a very large chance we won't get on. I know a number of people that play tennis and a number of cyclists, I don't like any of them.
Of course that's not to say all are the same, just the ones I've met.
Each to their own I suppose.

Have you watched them descend a mountain at speeds over 60mph?

They only have 2 wheels to control, I frequently do it with 4 and you don't see me injecting bull semen into my eyeballs and dressing like I'm going to a fetish club.
Weirdos and cheats the lot of 'em.

You must have a picture of me up on your wall.
The way cyclists get so angry when you rightfully call it out as a mincers pastime makes me GIGGLE

It tells you nothing NS.

At the risk of sounding like mentor, I don't consider froome british at all, as brilliant as he is it's a bit of a joke he's allowed to represent us.

Richmond Park is a classic example
Speed limit is 20 MPH
That's 20 MPH you cunts, not 20 MPH just for cars.
There are deers in the park and the speed limit is to protect them more than anything
Do cyclists observe ANY laws ?

I love cyling. Not into all the gear and no idea. In fact In very Zen. Probably the years spent in the saddle and the experience of hitting 40 mph down the beast known as Bitchling Beacon on the last London to Brighton last year. Was great but proper Shat myself.
