I'm a roadie, but really more of a mtn. biker at heart
My DH is a cat 2 road racerHe's a sweet, respectful guy, especially towards women...He says we are smarter, better looking, and tougher than guys...What a sweetie, huh?
I'm super friendly to everyone, so that is what I usually get in return. I've had a few roadie guys help me this year with mechanicals on the side of the road...they did it just to be nice. I also ran into some pretty rude people on the road...some were male, some were females, some were dogs, and some were carsI notice if I don't look for the rude behavior, I don't notice it LOL.
For me though, it's how the guys act off the bike. I know that road racing and training are very difficult endeavors firsthandedly. I myself can't always muster a smile when my HR is 180+But, I telepathically will send love or kind energies to others and notice that it is returned...Hmmm, I am starting to wonder about this quantum physics stuff...It works!
I personally have an issue with guys who put racing and training above their families, for instance. This is off the bike of course. I also realize that it is judgmental for me to look at this since it's not my life.
My DH off the bike is a very caring and loving. Some of his biking friends actually had the audacity to razz him about taking my bike out of his truck for me at races or putting it on the trainer for me, etc. (I have upper body injuries and such and am short LOL). The biking friends don't see how I help at home...fix water bottles, make healthy food, do bike laundry...Last time I checked marriage is a teamwork sport LOL...But, then again, none of them have wives who race!!! I almost told these people to kiss me in a special place, but oh well, I'm human and I judge too
I hear ya though![]()
