re: #280 Justanotherhuman

I can tell you that for some people, those bike races are seen as something kind of like overgrown, spoiled children with money who can afford $5K bikes and such and don’t have a dreaded 8-5 work schedule that keeps them from having any fun—in other words, they’re seen as “elitist” and not something anyone the critic knows participates in. Bikes are something they rode as kids and then gave up for good. Also, they’re vaguely “European” or “foreign”—not football or baseball, and certainly not American.

They should see the Cat 5’s lining up, then. A more regular-looking group of guys you’ll never see!
