    Yea, cc you ARE young for real.

    I guess, it's all perspective, mimi.. I work in a heavily male dominated organization. Of all the managers there, I am only 1 of 2 managers who are female...the rest of the other 9 managers are male. I don't want to be the female manager puppy dog 'mascot' in that organization.

    I dunno..maybe when I walk from the bus stop to the worksite...with my bike gear on...it makes me look young, especially wearing spandex cycling shorts ...or just slightly ..stupid. Honest several construction guys have yelled at me." Where's your bike?"

    I give them the location of my bike locker..which is 30 kms. away and tell them I live downtown. Which is 45-50 kms. away from work ..over highway bridge, several road highways, long hills and more twisty routes with more transport trucks, etc. I can't commute by bike all the way. They are appropriately surprised by where I commute from in whatever mode I use.

    If I did bike all the way this horribly convoluted and long route one way..I would truly be a young goddess.. in ...their eyes.
