You're right, a big bunch of wussies.Doesn't compare at all to having to play for 30 seconds with a 3 minute break in between while wearing a ton of protective gear.

I'm not really sure why you would link me to vids of a bike rider crashing if you were trying to make a point of their athleticism, but as I originally said, I agree they are exerting more effort than a race car driver, but I stand by my comment that they are not even in a league with a football player.

Do they have bike races in the snow and ice? Are they deliberately running into each other at every opportunity? No of course not, they are on their own little padded bike seat, hoping others are courteous enough not to bump into them while they pedal, pedal, pedal.

Now the things that are similar, is both sports feature men wearing helmets and some sort of spandex, which I can throughly enjoy watching.
