Exactly my point, counter to the message which I quoted. That
message claimed that bicycling will not get media coverage for lack
of fan participation, citing auto racing as an example, as just
about everybody drives cars.
I suspect bicycling is not a particularly fun sport to watch, and
that's why people don't watch. I don't know; I don't watch any
sports. I participate in bicycling, and if I'm watching tv, it's
Family Guy or The Simpsons or some such cartoon. I watch movies on
dvd occasionally, too.
