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.
