The Gang Recycles Their Trash is the best episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

This 50 km walk is farcical. These people aren't athletes.

 

[finbarr]

And what sort of person heads out to watch the 50 km walk as a spectator? You'd have to be extremely bored or have rocks in your head.

Its also boring and goes for ages

I can accept that you think it's boring. But it's a grand sport that makes perfect sense. This walking thing is an utter abomination.

Cricket is boring and goes for ages, and often you don't even have a winner at the end of 5 painful days.

As if their feet aren't working in a running manner. They're all lifting both feet off the ground simultaneously. Farce.

Cricket has feats of technical excellence and individual brilliance and teamwork. It's a sport you can clip together in individual highlights and a sport you can romanticise in long form writing. Long distance cycling is just an extension of running aka who is the best at exercising.

Dgmw short circuit cycling and running is a great spectator sport but you'd have to have rocks in your head to turn out to a 50k run same as you would watching a long distance cycle.

Yes, riding 200km a day over 21 days requires no skill and teamwork. Stick to discussing things you know about, like bad heavy metal.

Respect. Walk.

It doesn't though. How many campaigners have you ever seen in the street "walking" like this? I've seen one, Dan Aykroyd in the opening credits of Doctor Detroit.
