Thread: Cycling on TV

Cycling on TV

Going to get flamed big time, I suspect, but TV is where cycling belongs in my view. B4 you all get started, I cycled for 20 years as an adult, but I did it to get around. I didn't wear it like a uniform. I wasn't trying to prove something. In today's traffic, there is no way I'd do it now, even if I had 750cc to help.

Quack.

No flaming from me , I understand where you are coming from, but I think the mentality has to change. It would be a nice alternative to have a cycle to work without copping verbal crap. Not every rider is a Lycra racer.

Agreed. It's a little hard to remember that up here on the weekend though. I try my best.

There is probably better people outside of Dandenong then. Cycling great where I live. A mate has gone over to SA to ride (non pro) the TDU courses also, half his luck!

Did pretty boy Sagan elbow someone off the course to win? 😇😜

No Sagan won it fair & square, you can see for yourself in the highlights tonight,
on 9GEM 10:50-11:52 pm.

Also I don't Mark Cavendish is racing this tour, otherwise we could give him the Aussie nickname of "The Battered Cav" ?

Cadel Evans' Great Ocean Road Race is on Ch 7 from 10am - 3pm this Sunday the 28th Jan.
