Which sport is harder ten pin bowling or cycling?

I have to say I have done a lot of miles on my bike and raced some pretty tough races. I have pitted myself against the toughest climbs in both the alps and the pyrenees. But I have never been so sore (my right arm at least) as I was the day after I went bowling the other night. I have to say 3 games and I was done. And if that wasn't enough I dropped the damn ball on my foot - hurt like hell. Easily the hardest sport in my opinion

Everyone knows bowling is a dirty sport. A probably clean amateur bowler like yourself only managed 3 games so anyone even attempting more than that surely has to be on the juice.

It's a game that combines heavy lifting, accuracy and stamina so any type of drug could be very useful.

Actually last time I bowled I had a REALLY sore glute/hip after so I'm with you on this!

New survey proves bowling harder than cycling

Well that's it proven - 100% of people who chose to comment are agreed that ten pin bowling is significantly harder than cycling

Unless you can get hurt or killed, it's a game, not a sport.

I have a cyclist friend who tore some muscles in his shoulder while bowling and couldnt race for a few months. He had never been that seriously injured riding his bike. So I think you're right 180!

Darts. Could easily put an eye out. A sport by previously mentioned definition?
No
Of course, there's no accounting for human idiocy. I'm an 6 handicapper golfer. It's my "game" of choice. Then again, I've never had a club or ball taken to my head... yet.

Going for a ride. Anyone care to join me?

never had any bowling injuries (don't trust the slippery, shiny surface) but do paper cuts for applying for a cyclists license count?

Boxing on the Nintendo Wii. Man, you can't move the next day!

Depends on when you started riding your bike !!!

Duck Pin Bowling! The balls have no holes and the pins are spindles. Of course, the only alley I ever went to was a place in NH that served us slightly underage kids years ago.

Yes, bowling's the toughest...

Just ask Obama. All his athletic pretensions, and oh so slick basketball wannabe jaunt of a slick walk, and he tries bowling.

The result? A total and utter wuss. All pretensions unmasked by this mighty sport of bowling, the ultimate decider of hipness and coolness.

Now that's a sport I can try. Bowling is the apotheosis, the Alpe d'Huez, of delusion testing. It's the infallible polygraph for all conceited prigs
