nah not like racing.. more like touring.
Some years ago my family and I went every year on a 1-2 weeks cycle tour. And now sometimes with friends.
And I'm cycling daily, nearly everywhere. I live in a more or less big city and the gase price is sky high in Germany (I guess double than in Ca.) and I don't like public transport. So everywhere I go, I use the bike to get there.
And besides, I'm not and dont wanna be full wwith steroids
I like all sports from Rugby Union to Rugby League. Football (soccer) is too full of prima donnas for my liking. However, if you want to see some really accurate football shooting, have a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3LRf2DqwZA
