Millions of small children of either gender, exposed to near-ubiquitous references to association shoutball in popular media and the relative accessibility of the equipment and facilities, see that they only need to 1: be able to play football reasonably well and 2: male in order to be able to progress to the highest level. There are even people actively trawling to recruit promising youngsters, with the result that my nephew is now in some sort of youth team thing, at which point the additional requirements of 3: being prepared to allocate all remaining available spare time to training and 4: having parents with the time/resources to cart/send you all over the country and beyond to attend performances against other youth team things became apparent.</p> <p>Cycling, meanwhile, requires more equipment from the very beginning, give or take some tradeoff between fanciness of equipment/availability of facilities between disciplines. It seems like there may be more/greater barriers earlier on, as well as the same dedication/selection/patronage stuff further up. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9507&page=4#post-148877 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:28:42 +0000 I were right about that saddle 148877@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I like that bike.

Thousands of small boys around the country playing football in the park and at school don't seem to be put off by the fact that the pro's are rather untouchable and (for the most part) also complete asshats. </p> <p>Cycling has the "everyone can be a pro" aspect to it I think.

It's all about 'out-comforting' uprights you see! I have cycled right up Ramsay Lane to castle just for the 'fun' of it.</p> <p>I do plan to do the SCMA longer hill challenge at EdFoC. I know it will take 4 mins up to Dunsapie Loch and the elite can do it in 2mins - but so what. if we really want to get people into cycling then there is a danger that making it look too pro puts people off.</p> <p>Most 'bents have to drop down through the gears (bit like a tandem). Too many changes mean you lose your cadence. The real 'semi-pros' can do a course like this and maintain cadence throughout with one click down on the corner I reckon. Or no clicks if they ride single speed! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9507&page=4#post-148827 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 13:09:30 +0000 rust 148827@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think the others were mostly modified mtb's.
