Cycling is new to me (less than one year), except for when I was a kid and used to bike all over the place on my banana seat But when my hubby was overcome with everything cycling, I decided I'd better follow in his wake or I'd be missing out on a huge part of his life. It's been very exciting to share the sport with him and has given us a boost in our relationship. And when we go on long rides together it's way better than a date I mean, most people go for dinner and a movie - nice, but not THRILLING! With four kids (ages 15, 12, 8 and 2) it's a fantastic escape. It's also great for the legs, but, back, arms, shoulders... As for the sexy underwear - My man would rather follow behind me and admire the "view" in my bike gear (of course, he'd probably rather see me in sugar shorts than attack shorts) than in cheesy lingerie. Well, OK - he still likes the cheesy lingerie...

Biking makes us women strong, and strong is sexy!

One more thing - biking is a great metaphor for life's ups and downs. Get over a really hard climb (bad day) and then coast down that same hill (good day). Just remembering how tough a particular hill was, and how I conquered it, is like therapy on a really bad day.

Can't tell you how much I've enjoyed these chats. My hubby even peeks on every once in a while to see what all the "chat" is about and he follows threads too! What a guy! BTW - he signed on as jfish a while back hunting for bike shorts for me
