I think due to my grey hair, It's often assumed I know more than I do!

hm, maybe you should stop coloring your hair? Works for Southern Belle
a lot of guys tend to talk this way when they are trying to impress you.

Right, well I will say that one of the guys was hitting on me. I mean he came up beside me on our group ride... saying I was the girl with the cute @ss. He was also complimenting me on my muscular thighs. Of course, I gotta say he was like 20 years old then me.
The other guy was a bike mechanic. He was trying to tell me some really basic stuff like, "Don't lay your bike on the derailer". REALLY!
With regards to why my chain keeps falling off... to which it wasn't falling off before the bike shop made an adjustment to it because it was skipping around on the gears.
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

LOL! That reminds me......last year when I was in our LBS a cyclist guy that appeared to be in his mid 50's or so invited me to do the Arkansas Hilly 100. Then he studied me and added, "You'll need to train awhile for it."

I got the "new to riding" saturday when I rode my cruiser to run a couple of errands. I was having trouble with my bike lock, and this man standing next to a beater bike drinking a beer (in a brown paper bag) asked me if I was new to biking? I think he meant "was I new to the forced-to-ride crowd because the Law has taken away my driver's license after my third DWI." Batted my eye lashes and told him that my other bike is a rode bike and I usually ride 20+ miles at a time on it. THIS bike is my run-around-the-neighborhood-bike, and I ride it just for fun. The lock is just being a pain.
