Quick story regarding this:
So I am riding on Sunday morning with a guy who is a Semi Pro mountain biker and Level III road biker. We were talking about the Olympics and I brought up Michael Phelps. About halfway through my story of his amazing abilities, he interrupts me and says:
"I am sorry I don't know swimming well, who is Michael Phelps?"
I was dumbfounded, if this were some fat lazy guy sitting on political blogs all night, or playing Grand Theft Auto 24/7 I might understand. This was a guy who is a professional cycler. I truly didn't know what to say. It just reminded me again about how unknown our sport really is. I just don't get it sometimes.:dunno:
To be fair, most swimmers don't know much about cycling. All I know about cycling is what Lance Armstrong did and that that Landess guy was on roids.
