I never knew cycling could be so much fun to watch. The Olympics men's sprint was on TV a while ago. It was really exhilarating to watch the two finalists pedalling furiously as they attempted to be the first to the finish line. For some reason, this is more real than, say, watching Formula One racing. Perhaps the fact that the power generated is entirely mechanical has something to do with it. The speeds were also quite high (may be thrice as much as a 100m sprinter can manage?).
