Default Thats not how you ride a bike

This is how a bike is ridden.

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

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.

I was totally impressed. I'm scared to death of bicycles.

Puts the poser chavs who do wheelies and small jumps (before falling on their arses) to shame!

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

It was a European championship.

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."?
