TDF
I always wonder why you do your annual "I just don't get this bike racing thing" article. Then I see the number of letters you get and it makes a little more sense. Plus it's summer, and there aren't that many other sporting events going on, and I imagine you're trying to find ways to put together enough words to get a column together.
I don't particularly care about the sport being popular or not, I just like it. Same way I feel about hockey, which is also unpopular. Everyone I know who follows cycling knows it's not something that most people get into and don't hold it against anybody. Still, watching a good mountain stage is something most people can enjoy - my non-cycling wife is now completely hooked on the TDF, in spite of her general dislike of watching sports.
