Meh ... A week ago my back weel had a flat tire, so I decided to cycle all the way home on my front wheel. Those gals do it just for the show :D

It begs the question, to what purpose to ride a bike in this fashion in a competition? Is this a new Olympic sport? I'm at a loss trying to understand why these two are in a gymnastics uniform and there is a auditorium of people watching this activity. :hmmm:

What purpose has it to drive a car around an oval for 500 miles?:O:

That was my next question. NASCAR makes no sense. European Championship? Championship of what? I do not get it. Did someone wake up one day and say, "Let's ride bikes backwards, make a competition out of it and sell T-shirts."?

Apparently a local German sport? I have only seen things like BMX here in the US with free form stunts. To each their own I guess.

How can it be a local German sport if it was a European Championship?:doh:

Normally a question ends with a "?" Just like my question. Baseball here is called "The World Series" Has any baseball professionally been played in Germany? Specifically the world series? All right then. :03: The world loves a wise guy. It still makes no sense to me.

I don't see why it should be more senseless than any other sport.:06:
Actually sport is senseless. It's always just a competition to find out who is the best within some rules. If you want really senseless sport, have a look at this::D
