I don't know why you'd choose cycling as any less boring than any other televised sport. My TV sports preferences tend to racing, need not be bicycles. Racing works a lot better on TV than it does in person, because you see the race leaders or the contest for position all the time and not just once every two minutes when it goes past you (or the one time in the whole day it goes past your "hi grandma" sign). I'm happy to attend a baseball or basketball game with the family but on TV they seem too clinical somehow. Soccer seems like a 2-hour game of keep-away followed by penalty kicks they could have started with and saved all the trouble, while surrounded by drunks; American hand-egg just reminds me of all my nerd resentments of jocks
