Tour de France in a Sports Bar?

How annoying that every time I'm in any sports bars in San Diego, I've got to watch the Padres or Chargers. Can't a normal guy, that wears lycra, watch something other than baseball, football or basketball? (And by the way, I'm not hanging out in bars at 5:00 a.m. )

I was looking through some Jerseys at the expo the night before the Tour of Palm Springs a couple of years ago and the Bloke next to me said "This stuff only looks good on a Bike"

I agree...
