There are in more advanced countries ;-)

Did we go ton the same high school?

I'd cut gym, take the computer lab key from teacher's lounge, and spend that time programming in C instead. No sports.

I was a menace on 2 wheels outside of school. Not competitive. I rode because it was fun. Like others mentioned there was no cycling program in schools.

I don't know why you confuse the issue by stating that golf isn't a team sport. It's not a sport at all (so why bother worrying about the team aspect?)

to (mis)quote Mark Twain "golf is nothing but a good walk spoiled". Or as my buddies brother (golf pro) says, "golf is the long way to the bar"

Pink? ;-)

Only the good ones. Helps with hypoxic training according to Phelps.

That is what I was thinking. Started racing bikes when I was 15.

Ya, they're so tired from their 80-100K per week that they need some good weed to help relax. :)

"Anyone can be who they want to be IF they have the HUNGER and the DRIVE."

Dan, you may want to take one off of team sports ticks there and add it to "ran" for me--as I ran XC & track (the years the school system had enough $ for a track team that is...2 or 4 years that is...) Anyhow, I voted team vs ran as these were both team sports. That's how I interpreted it.

It was always running for the team win, not the individual glory win.

None of the answers really matched well for me. A combination of the last three would have been good. I picked one of the last 2 because I never made varsity at anything.

Never heard that one before

Was doing an unrelated search and I stumbled across this thread. Reading thru it, I realized, to my surprise, that Slowman is pretty damned funny. Of the various human attributes that we all exhibit to various degrees, like "considerate", "honorable", "self-disciplined", and "great ass", being "pretty damned funny" has gotta be in the top 5 of most admirable.

This is a brown nosing free post. No, really.
