I was chatting to a friend in the UK (a non-cyclist) the other day and she was telling me about a prog she had seen on the telly about some bloke cycling around the world. She's not anti-cycling so perhaps her reaction to it can be regarded as neutral/objective. She felt that the bloke was in the same whinging prat league as that solo yachtswoman who was forever bursting into tears (Ellen something or other) as he was constantly moaning about the things he didn't like about his trip. OTH she was impressed with the fact that he had done it.
The thing is, and I'm taking it that her description of his whinging was fair, you do have to wonder why TV producers can't find people doing this sort of thing who actually enjoy it. When you read touring reports on this forum everybody seems to be happy about and pleased with what they've done. Funny old world innit?
