I really don't think there is any greater sport than biking. It allows people to experience some of the most amazing places in the world.

The idea of arguing that one sport is "greater" than another is one of the worst ideas ever.

That being said there are a few more sports/ activities that allow you to explore more of the world.

Hahaha, NorCalNomad; the idea of you not getting your "opinion" in on people's comments is one of the best ideas ever.

No it's not my opinion that there are other sports that let you explore more of the earth.

That's a fact.

Just to name two; Sailing (there is water than land....), Mountaineering (not too many trails up on 8000m or other technical peaks, and hiking/ backpacking gets rolled into this since you have to do those with mountaineering). I do neither of those btw.

Bikes are for the most of the time limited to trails. Yes it is incredible what bikes can do, and where they can take you. But if you boil it down there are many places they can not help you access. Don't think I don't like biking, why do you think I'm on this site...

Curling is rather awesome. You get to wear the greatest pants anyone has ever set eyes on.

Nice, i was in Mongolia this summer and that is definitely it! Great tracking shots and use of the AF100 cam. The best part of Mongolia? When it's hot out, all the guys with the biggest stomachs would lift up their shirts and let those bellies fly. I noticed a quick clip of that in the vid. Too bad about the food there, though.

Adventure ! The essence of riding a bike. These type of people, and mind set are forming a future of our sport, in which I'am proud to be apart of. So many great documentary styled videos these days i.e. (where the trial ends). Great to see.

i think a cyclo cross may suit the terrain better
