    "bike porn crap"


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

    On the 'other sites' bike porn are those pictures of naked women sitting on bikes...............

    Again, its not that it morally offends me, it just doesn't interest me, same goes for hearing about the sexual exploits of the male members.

    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...

    Blue -- one of the guys I ride with just bought that bike, say about a month ago. JUST as beautiful in person if not way way more. The frame design is just too cool, and it really does remind you of its namesake.

    Bike porn, indeed...

    Ah, but some of us do like that photo of Lance ....
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    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.

    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.
