Its not my goal to have unique thoughts, it just seems interesting to me. Ive been watching track and field lately and it just occurred to me that there is no 100m or short sprints for bikes. Then I wondered how fast a bike would be compared to a man running. I think it would be pretty close. I think it would be fun. Can you think of any practical reasons for the absence of short distance bike racing?
