When I started cycling a couple of years back I really enjoyed the sport, even with all the battling, etc, etc, but you know what I conquered all the difficulties. Then I was licenced (not by choice), there went the enjoyment out of this sport that I loved so much. The nastyness, bitchiness...who do these people actually think they are. I have experienced riding with the men as well who's aim is to see who has the better oiled legs, outdress each other etc, (supposed to be girl thing!!!) and who is going to drill who in a race, even on a normal Sat or Sun ride....gee that must be such FUN!!!! and the swearing and cursing that goes with it...nah, not cool. The many times I hear these so called top cyclists complaining about the "fun riders" well darlings if it were not for them you would not have races to ride as those are the people that actually contribute to your winnings!!! and you know what at least they are on their bikes and not lying around doing nothing.. So!! I plan to cut up my Licence card and get back with the riders that are pleasand, help one another and most of all smile and laugh and have fun and then hopefully I will start enjoying this sport again.
