So you think cycling is a boring sport? Your attention span isn't up for following a race that takes 4 plus hours a day for 3 weeks, you think the riders all dope, and you don't care to watch grown men in Lycra shorts? Well I can't do much for you about the Lycra, but I will tell you to check out the mountain bike scene and the cyclocross scene. The attitudes are much more laid back and everyone's there to have fun (i.e. who cares about doping?). Cyclocross is especially spectator friendly, and often, the rowdier the better. Just read about what Adam Craig, our cross country mountain bike national champion, did at the Single Speed Cyclocross World Championships in Portland, Oregon.
So take your favorite beverage in a brown bag disguise out to the local cross race and cheer as loud as you can and ring that cow bell.
And for your visual entertainment, a video from CrossVegas.
Notice any shenanigans?
