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

[SouthernBelle]

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.

Amanda, gray is sexy, and you know what most guys aren't looking at your hair...if you know what I mean I started getting gray's after having my daughter and at 34 I'm FREAKING out but oh well, like you said, a dye bottle and off I go!!

[lizbids]

I'm only 27, but I have a significant amount of silver hair...I hope it grows in sexy

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.

I hate it when people honk their horns. Just startling.

[chickwhorips]

i was honked at for the first time last week. i thought i was pretty cool too. ego booster. it was by someone in a very nice cadillac too. then again that someone in that caddy was my roommie and her sister, but i still felt special.

I have a wickedly overdeveloped startle reflex so getting honked at about flips me off the bike.

I just snorted water onto my keyboard!

I know exactly what you mean, though. Last night the guys working on the railroad tracks all just stopped and stood there watching me ride by. I think they were probably wondering why in the world anyone would commute by bike...or "is that a woman? hard to tell without much chest"
