> Cycling is one of the few sports left with real “hard men” in it. The NFL/MLB/NBA should just start handing out mandatory tiaras.
Rugby Union, Rugby League, Aussie Rules, Cricket, Ironman, Surf-Lifesaving and Surfing would be very hi on the list of “Real Man” sports, too.
Ironman has a significant cycling component.
I can only agree, those would be up there too.
