I thought "bike porn" was just pictures of pretty bikes? I'm so naive...

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
i actually LOVE the women's pink and black orbea! and i'm NOT a pink road bike fan... but ya.... the orbea's have ALWAYS been a favorite of mine....... *drool* love their lines...........
You know, I love that orange, but I think it would make me look like a pumpkin, and it would definitely clash with my red hair.
Perhaps I'd better start shopping...

Huh?! Hmmmm.. anyone mention Lance?
No. Lance was a drift. The point was nudity vs. porn, where not all nudity is at the expense of dignity. Some nudity-on-a-bike is clearly not porn -- not because it is male nudity, but because the picture obviously is not about a body's sexual availability to the viewer. The Lance picture is about the body one builds as a biker and the relationship between biker and bike.
The "naked-woman-posing-in-the-vicinity-of-a-bike" pictures that women tend to find offensive are (just like naked-woman-on-the-hood-of-a-car or naked-woman-[fill in random excuse for pose here]) merely about making some excuse for getting porn pictures into yet another social context where men can be enticed into buying a product by being made to feel that, as viewers, they are the ones at the receiving end of some "come-and-take-me" expression on a sexually exaggeratedly attractive body.
Sorry the post was so cryptic. I thought about it after, that my point was far from clear. But it was late and I needed to sleep rather than edit.
OK gals. Back to other drifts. We seem to be done with the original topic here.![]()
I'm off for another cuppa at the campus cafe. With a cookie this time. Yesterday I got cramps in both calves at spin class. I clearly had not had enough cookies at work before hitting the gym.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
Errr....durn it. I think that was my fault...was it? Hmmm....yea, I think it was. Sorry, I DO apologize. I think I'll have a cookie to help me feel better.

If anyone would like to continue talking about pictures of naked women on bikes and the men that post them just to piss us off, please do -- and perhaps I'll join in and actually behave myself. I personally would rather talk about cookies (or naked MEN on bikes....). Call me weird.
Well, get it together, Woman!!Here, here's one to get you started. Pure evil.
Sorry, I'm just feisty today...yep, must be friday...![]()
