And let me just say...

I had a great time reading about the Hot Male Riders, but I think it's time to remind you ladies that lots of riders who coast past YOU are thinking the same thoughts!

What is sexier than a woman who is happy, confident, enjoying the outdoors, being independent...all while showing off sculpted legs and a big grin? Strut your stuff and be PROUD of who you are!!

I think women are more discreet. We glance over, we admire, we move on with our lives.

Too often when I'm out riding I hear a lot of crap. Cars toot their horns (jolting me practically right off my bike), construction workers yell out, one group of road maintence crew actually broke out into applause. It was mortifying. And I'm no hottie either. I'm 42, way too curvy to be considered athletic/tight and I'm not exactly cruising along a la Lance Armstrong.

I hate it - sometimes it really ticks me off. I mean honestly - do these guys think scaring the piss out of me or yelling out the car window is a compliment?? I make a point now to dress super conservative on the bike - high neck jerseys to keep the girls well covered, no shorty shorts etc.

Thanks lizbids, you're right. Curvy, straight, big, small, short, tall, everything in between, you're right.

Yeah, a lot of the women I ride with are at least 10-20 years older than myself and they make me look pathetic I look up to them because I don't want to end up like a lot of people that age, sitting around eating poorly and being overweight. And they get woohooed by young guys and can hang with the young guns Definately makes me look slow and pays homage to my bicycling elders

I also get tickled when some young guy whistles or evidences other tactful appreciation while I'm on my bike.
They don't know about the gray hair under the helmet.

Well, like I said in the Hot Male Riders thread:
People who cycle a lot have wonderful bodies that are a delight to gaze upon.

That's "people", as in either sex. Healthy fit bodies just plain look good!

Ha! For me they may be my age and not know about the grey under my helmet. I started going grey at 19, right now I am badly in need of a visit with the dye bottle. At 26 this isn't one or two vanity greys, I am definitely getting my dad's silver hair.

I agree with you but the girl a the top of the website, that is what I'm aiming for! I may not look exactly like it, but I'm on my way. I also pay homage to all those female riders out there they to look great! It's just.....the men are more fun to drool over!

[lizbids]

Yes, it is disheartening when certain kinds of men cat-call and try to reduce your self-worth by saying disgusting things as you go by But, what I was trying to say that there are plenty of guys out there who are liking the way you look but are polite enough to do what we do: get a nice glimpse and move on (though those guys seem few and far between!)

When I hear a "whoah" as I pass by the construction site on the corner of my street, it is always said in the same tones of incredulity and wonder with which one might say: "look! Godzilla!". I don't think they mean it as a compliment. Bastards.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I agree with you but the girl a the top of the website, that is what I'm aiming for!...

I don't know, she looks kind of boy-like to me. I think I'll stick with my nice curvy girly hips and waist....

[Kitsune06]

"Is she a he?"
"Is he a she?"
He either has nice pecs or she's very streamlined...
...and has a real tight, round a...
*cough*

*grin*
Funny how a thread on how we should be proud of our sexy physiques- and that there are women out there who wanna look a lycra-clad, estrogen pumpin' biker chick up and down and go "RRrrrrrRRRow!"
...sorry... I got carried away.
What I mean is, it's funny how such a thread would automatically drift into how men will catcall from construction sites or honk their horns, etc...
I've been honked, I've also had small kids ask "Mom, why is that boy wearing a bikini?"
*shrug*
just wanna say, biker chicks have delightfully smooth, admirable bodies to touch and gaze upon as well.
I love 'drafting' someone on her Novara. Thankfully her braking practices aren't quite as bad as mine!

Ah, but don't forget there are some here who would love the pics, and probably skipped the hot guys.

[Jenn]

That is true, unfortuntaely, you just don't see female athletes, mostly (cyclist) as advertised as their male counterparts. They are usually just found with their clothes off in playboy which we ALL know we are ALOT more then just some T&A..right ladies??!!!

[singletrackmind]

Ah, but don't forget there are some here who would love the pics, and probably skipped the hot guys.

And great ladies indeed....that's why I qualified with a 'for me'.

chick pics....sorry, best I can do.
