Is Cycling a "Sport"
Every time A cyclist wins Sprotsman of the Year from SI, or the Espy's, the mainstream ball sports guys start bemoning that Cycling isn't even a sport. So is it?
First,I think you haveto define terms. From Websters:
Sport: n, 1)athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature. 2. such activities collectively. 3) diversion, recreation...
By Webster's defintion, bike racing, and arguably fast paced "competitive" fitness riding would be a sport.
Simply riding for pleasure, you at least have to drop to definiton 3, to argue its a sport.
Fire away (at least until the thread lock comes.)
