If that's true, then it would be the new golf. That's no different than bragging about how long their drive was or what their handicap is.Originally Posted by crazycanuck
Don't most men just want to brag about how fast blah blah blah they went on thier ride & who won the sprint...
The difference between golf and cycling is that I never wanted to pick up my bicycle and throw it against a tree like I did with my golf clubsCycling is much less frustrating.

Hmm - I have DEFINITELY picked up my bike and thrown it into the woods. On one ride, DH actually did that with our MTB tandem as well. That was the end of our off-road tandem adventures. Originally Posted by Bike Chick

Maybe cycling really is the new golf.

It was over 20 years ago, back when I was racing, that I was also part of a community with a large number of golfers. Back then, I said, "I already ride a bicycle ... why would I want ANOTHER sport that's ludicrously expensive, predominantly male and overwhelmingly white?"
Not much has changed on the last two fronts ... and nothing on the first.

My brother regularly makes business deals and discusses projects while riding with clients. One day he was out on a ride alone and came across a wooden sign that had fallen down on the edge of the road. He got off his bike to move the sign and noticed that it said Land For Sale. He called right then and there and ended up buying the land for $30k. Two years later, a developer called him and offered $175k for the land. Duh. yeah, he sold it.

Yeah, I've definitely thrown my bike around when it just threw me and I'm having a bad technical riding day! Originally Posted by SheFly
