I cannot believe that people can be so rude.
As my avatar clearly shows, I like pink.
I might have had fun with the comment and responded with a "Yes, it is pink, and my lovely LeMond has a Floyd Landis signature on it in hot pink as well. How do you like me now?" I will tend to respond to rudeness with equal rudeness, but the signature on the bike stops a lot of people with their pink comments. Floyd signed it with no problem in pink.
I would venture to say those rude women never watch a pro race- no color is off limits.
If I can't go fast, at least I look good.
