    LOL! One of my friends used to like to say I was one of two Asian blonds he knew - the other being his adopted brother. If I was acting air-headed or clumsy, he would tease that my blond roots were showing.

    I think that website was inspired by all the Stuff Asian ________ Like blogs and top twenty lists. My favorite is Stuff Korean Moms Like. I can relate to quite a few of those. Some of them stretch the truth only a tiny bit, like the force feeding one.

    Catronia, how true about the archetype of the lonely bike guy. I've definitely met a few of those. They are wistful when they hear that Dh got me interested in biking and want to know how they can get their wives to ride more.

    Yeah, they're always wistful when they hear that I do a lot of outdoor stuff with my boyfriend. Which is actually a pleasant change from doing it by myself with previous boyfriends.

    I'm always slightly irked by one of my bf's coworkers - who used to talk to my bf about how to get his wife to get interested in biking or exercising (she was a stay at home mom with his young kid & he worked and raced all the time), but now he talks about his new gf - who races with him and is in his bike racing club or something.

    I run into those lonely bike guys too! (this looks like a major thread shift)

    last weekend, i was riding a trail near the waterfront and this guy comes up to me and admires my bike, (his is a big purple Davidson, beautifully done)
    he knows I commute to work because he's been in my building. I ask him if he does, he sighs, my wife won't let me. That also probably meant he is riding alone because she doesn't ride.
    Another coworker went nuts riding, went from being a blob to really really quite fit, but his wife "can't" ride, and after a couple years, he quit riding and is getting blobbier everyday. sad sad.

    Im must be too new too appreciate this humor, as I love talking to lonely bike guys!I ride alone and always need tips but then Ive been riding only about a year, so I havent had time to get sick of these guys.

    Maybe, Im a lonely bike woman?! I hope not cos my image of myself is like some priestess of Artemis, kicking butt on a bike!
