Injured.. and Watching TV

I've recently injured my Achilles tendon and while icing and heating and rolling and repeating for the last five days (almost better now) I have discovered that I love Top Gear.

For those who don't know, top gear is a British TV show devoted to car culture. The three hosts spend each episode road testing cars while informing the audience on their features, all with a candid spin. In addition, there is a celebrity brought in for each show, and they are sent to the test track to find out how well they can drive. It really is a pretty fun show to watch, as the cars are amazing, and the hosts always worth a laugh.


My favorite episode (and vehicle) so far. This Toyota truck was outfitted for driving to the North Pole in a race against a dogsled team. Awesome.
I got to thinking, I sure wish there was something like this for cycling or triathlon. A candid bike review through TV show or webisodes or whatever that is dedicated to the sport, while being able to laugh. I would watch that.
