Why?
Why do I persist with road cycling? Two things. The endorphins (I'm addicted). And the massive stupidity in the sport, which provides persistent and ongoing comic relief.
|
And it does occur to me that there is more unmitigated dooshbaggery in this sport than in any other hobby or past time on the friggin planet. Particularly in amateur bicycle racing. The flip side is there is also some phenomenal camaraderie. It's complicated.
|
I make a point of catching everyone who tries to drop me and give them the Cinzano treatment, is that this "dooshbaggery" of which you speak?

I'm guessing it fuels your passion to write on a bike forum.

And I don't understand the dooshbaggery in this sport - I can be a dick but my heart is in the right place and am always there to help and never put people's stuff down or look down on others but so many do. |
I do it because I hate myself so I must torture myself as often as possible. That's also why I come here. :o

If cycling equaled dooshbaggery around here, I never would have gotten into it.

We just enjoy watching you argue with yourself.
