Thanks for all of your input so far-- I guess I just wanted to add a little more-- you're right bikerchick68, so far I haven't had any neg. vibes from him. I wouldn't have even thought about it if my coworker hadn't said something. I think if he were to make it known that he had some sort of interest, I could find a polite way to say thanks, I'm flattered, but I'm not interested. Also I try and make it a policy to never ride with less than three until I know a person very well-- just as a safety precaution. I'm really not worried about that-- I guess it's just that I seem to come upon several people lately that think that I'm putting myself in harm's way by hanging out with them because "I'm the younger woman hanging out with the older men and that looks bad". Now... one of the things I learned when I entered the professional world was that you can have friends of all ages, backgrounds, etc. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with my going bicycle riding with these guys, but every once in a while I worry that maybe I'm totally missing something and that this is just not ok, lol.

Again, thanks for the sounding board-- I value this forum very much for it's diversity and everyone's willingness to share opinions!
