And let me just say...

"Is she a he?"
"Is he a she?"
He either has nice pecs or she's very streamlined...
...and has a real tight, round a...
*cough*

*grin*
Funny how a thread on how we should be proud of our sexy physiques- and that there are women out there who wanna look a lycra-clad, estrogen pumpin' biker chick up and down and go "RRrrrrrRRRow!"
...sorry... I got carried away.
What I mean is, it's funny how such a thread would automatically drift into how men will catcall from construction sites or honk their horns, etc...
I've been honked, I've also had small kids ask "Mom, why is that boy wearing a bikini?"
*shrug*
just wanna say, biker chicks have delightfully smooth, admirable bodies to touch and gaze upon as well.
I love 'drafting' someone on her Novara. Thankfully her braking practices aren't quite as bad as mine!

I keep my hair pretty damn short, but for whatever reason, I'm not often mistaken as a guy (though some kids ask if I'm a man or a woman b/c I never wear dresses). At such young ages we are conditioned to make assessments such as dress/long hair-=woman, pants/short hair= male.

Anyhoo, I guess I just started this thread b/c I feel women don't give themselves enough credit. As much as some of us tongue-wag at hot guys whizzing by, there are plenty of people enjoying YOUR scenery, and I just wanted to remind all of us how sexy our spirits are (especially when we're on bikes!)

Welp, I'll never forget being the only woman in a group of five riding through Tolono, a pretty tiny town on the prairie, and going by the baseball field. I heard the old fashioned wolf whistle - which I honestly hadn't heard in *years* in any context, and thought "WTF?" ... and then three seconds later, we heard, "SPAAANDEX!!!" ... I'm pretty sure I was in my sweats.
That was definitely one of those "you can choose how you interpret that" moments...
... and the very next day I was with our women's ride, going by the same exact spot... and what do I hear? "Spaaandex!!!" - but no whistle.
So. I considered submitting a proposal for a Ph.D. thesis on the matter

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 year ya. Being sort of dirigible-shaped, I do get some curious looks myself. Don't hear many comments as I usually have my earbuds in. Maybe they're saying "hope it doesn't crash.....oh the humanity!" Oh well, at least I'm aerodynamic...

I hope so, don't you think though that alot of men may be a little intimidated by athletic women. When I was single, I must admit, I had a might fine physique, but I was at the guy 24/7 but all the guys would always for for my friend that had the long SKINNY legs and a fairly large barrel shaped upper body. I KNEW I looked good but they'd always go for her, of course she put out...I DIDN'T....haha
Anyway, I know I feel strong and good when I'm out riding it took sometime to get over being a little insecure at first being new to it and all, but now, I LOVE IT!!!

[lizbids]

As for men being intimidated, that's just something they'll have to get over There are good guys out there who dig girls who are independent and confident. And yes, there are always the insecure guys who really prefer to feel in charge all the time, or feel like the brains behind the operation. To those guys, we can say, "Kiss my tailwind."

Again, referring to the cyclist at the top of this page, I think her lines are smokin' and I'm not "into" women, I would just give anything for her streamlined figure as you stated above!

[pooks]

(but for me, this thread is fine without pics )

Ah, but don't forget there are some here who would love the pics, and probably skipped the hot guys.

[Jenn]

That is true, unfortuntaely, you just don't see female athletes, mostly (cyclist) as advertised as their male counterparts. They are usually just found with their clothes off in playboy which we ALL know we are ALOT more then just some T&A..right ladies??!!!

[Aggie_Ama]

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.

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.

[Jenn]

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

One of the things I enjoy most on this forum is seeing pictures of fellow TEers doing what they love best, regardless of body type.

I admit, the women I most notice are those with defined muscles in their legs and arms. I knew this girl in college that did crew... whew.
