What happened to the bike boom?

Who was it that said, "the more things change the more they stay the same". Indeed, who said it? I have used that quote myself and had/have no idea. Anyway it is true. Probably in the stone age some guys were sitting by the camp fire musing some phrase and wondering who said it first. Could it be the guy in the other cave? No, older than that I think... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

What happened to the bike boom?
The Tour de France starts in a couple
of days. I've seen a couple of documentaries on YT and I can understand the appeal to road bike riders and to the people who live in a region thru witch the race passes. Myself, I feel unrelated tho, and I always considered sport stars to be a bunch of spoiled and one-dimensional brats. Sports is great to do but I don't follow them as a fan. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

I suspect that one would find anyone at the top of any endeavor to be pretty much one-dimensional. After all, to become "the best in the world" takes a tremendous amount of time and energy leaving little time for anything else. -- Cheers, John B. |

After all, to become "the best in the world" takes a tremendous amount of time and energy leaving little time for anything else. With sports, yes. But for example Neil Armstrong, Stephen King, Reinhold Messner? Pretty much on top of their games. Might have something to do with the age factor. If you do one thing from early age and with such success, fame and the extreme focus on something that actually is many, many times less complex than normal life - you don't grow up. Michael Jackson. An extreme example - I don't think the Tour de France guys are like that. His onedimensionalness came with a multidimensional twist... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
