Is there such a thing as an unserious color?

Seriously, your riding should speak for itself. I've seen DUDES riding pink bikes. It's silly looking, but it doesn't seem to phase them.

Anyway, though, I do agree with you on the girly color thing. But for every one of us out there that hates 'typical' girly colors, there are those that say, 'hey i'm riding a GIRLY bike and i'm passing your ***, so why don't you kiss it (if you can catch up!)'.

I think the WSD bike market has it difficult, you know? Because we're all so split. Some women really go for feminine colors on a bike. Some loathe them.

K. (who rides a teal... effing TEAL bike and hates the color, but loves the fit)

oh, and the pink floor pumps, explained to me by a salesguy as 'its supposed to be easier for women to pump up their tires', to which i said, 'well i don't have any problem pumping up my tires, and even if i did i wouldn't buy it because it was pink' to which he responded 'please? we haven't sold a single one and i want to know if it really is easier!'
