Close call anyone?

The picture below was taken in the United States of America Tour of California. Rider in the pic is Switzerland Stefan Denifl, teammate of the late Belgium Wouter Weylandt (RIP). That's some pretty messed up sh*t if you ask me.

Please explain whats so entertaining with watching some ppl riding bikes
what's so entertaining watching 22people on a field with a ball and 2 goals
what's so entertaining about a tennismatch

look outside the box
Parent
lol i dont really get tennis either.. i cant imagine whats exciting with watching ppl ride bikes. could you explain maybe?
Parent
personal interests.. you cannot like any sport
Parent
With almost every sport it's more fun to actually do it yourself rather than watch it as spectator. Yes, watching ppl cycling is rather dull, but so is watching 22 guys just running on the field and not getting the goals. Just like you watch football coz of goals and dribbling etc, or nascar just for the massive crashes, you watch cycling coz of the crashes or teamplay or technical failures etc. : )
Parent
Watching NBA is more entertaining than playing yourself.
Parent
So is watching monkeys throw shit at each other.
Parent
:DDDDDDDDDD
Parent
you just made my day

thanks
Parent
you, my friend, are a hero
Parent
They all are rather boring to watch.

Apart from my personal opinion you should consider the fact people actually have different interests and likings. He only asked you to tell him what's "so entertaining with watching some ppl riding bikes".
How about giving him a proper answer then?
Parent
he's just hating on the sport.. it won't help to explain him why cycling is cool =>]]]
Parent
i really wanst
Parent
Football: Technique, athleticism, teamwork, speed, tactics, years and years of hard work in all different fields, the surprise of he might be good each season.

Tennis: Boring as well.

Biking: Hell, I rode my bike to school for three years every day and I'm a fat lazy bastard and noone gave me credit for it.
Parent
Tennis: Technique, athleticism, speed, tactics, years and years of hard work in all different fields
Parent
ee, tactics in tennis :D?
Parent
you need to know where to play the ball in certain situations etc..
Parent
I'll grant you that, and to be fair, it's not quite as boring as cycling.
Parent
ie, nog wa aant trainen? kkem al anderhalve week niks meer gedaan :/ enkel gevreten
Parent
haha :D ik heb enkel vorige vrijdag nog iets gedaan en sindsdien ook niemeer :p enkel geleerd.. :( italië zal afzien worden zonder nu nog al te veel te kunnen traine :D
Parent
why is is that the only interesting thing about cycling seems to be accidents, doping or disguised electrobikes...

dear cycling fans, if you could choose one fact or incident to show others how cool your sport is, what would that be? (not allowed: 20 second long finish-sprints after 7 hours of cycling)
haha

so in football only the goals are interesting?
Parent
ANSWER THE QUESTION

tell/show something that makes cycling awesome for you

couldnt agree with you more everyone can ride a bicycle thats why i dont understand whats so thrilling about it
Everybody can run, swim and ride a bike. fuck triathlons!
Parent
Volleyball requires more technique than football tbh
Parent
skill, position?
Parent
skill is a bit hard to say

5 years
perfect in every pos., expect middle attacker
started as setter
Parent
estonian champion or something like that? regional champs? national div?
Parent
only Tallinn champion for 2 years.
We have played in interntional cups and best was 2nd place, lost to russian team (they had russian beach volleyball champion in team)

Just playing for fun and not getting fat xD
Parent
well used to be Belgian Champion in youth

what's your reach?
Parent
i got no idea tbh,

basketball ring is 3,05m. I can jump to it from 90 degrees (standing under ring) with 2 hands.

I would say 3,15 - 3,20
Parent
yea same, I can dunk a basket occasionally so I'd say that's about 3'15
We should do a lil Belgium-Estonia battle :)
Parent
That team is cursed!
