If I showed up on the Saturday morning ride, wearing that kit....I wouldn't drop the boys. They'd fall over, laughing.

LOL. That pretty much sums it up for me.

I think that's awesome! When I was a newbie, I used to drop boys all the time...but that's because I would ride with the other newbies even though I was already in really good shape (just not from cycling).

Now, not so much.

Though, even if you can drop boys, I'd think that wearing that would be like putting a big ole target on your back!

argh...the teacher in me wants to capitalize that i so bad!

and I don't even know if I could drop 3 year olds on tricycles... but I'd like to think I could.

[arielmoon]

LOVE. IT!

hehehe

[kermit]

Dropped a guy on a beach cruiser once...does that count?

[limewave]

Perhaps not on the bike . . . but I've dropped a few boys in my day

[tribogota]

Had never heard the "dropping" bit, but where I ride, I don't drop anyone, boys or girls, young or old...matter of fact, didn't even know I was supposed too! Sometimes I don't even drop runners, guy ran up the hill 10k an hour the other day, me pufffing to keep up.

Yeah, then all the ride I'd hear "Yeah right, so you drop boys but this is a MAN on your left dropping YOU"

But I'd prefer a simple "smile, you've been "girled" by a 53 year old.

I think it is great.
It is a group of hard working, dedicated girls(looks like tri girls) who are proud of being strong.
Think about it, we have had plenty of threads on here about CHICKing a guy. This is what it is.
I love going out on the fast group rides and giving it my all(26-32mph rides). I love even more, hearing after the ride, how strong I am from the guys.
A lot of guys can drop me, especially when the pace gets over 30mph(if it is a sudden jump to that pace, my acceleration sucks. but I can gradually get there and maintain it in a pelaton just fine).
But I know I can drop a bunch of guys out there also, I have the endurance to work in a paceline in the mid to high 20s and I love knowing that I can drop some guys.

So yes, these kits might not be for everyone- but for the hard working girls who put time in and are just as strong if not stronger then some of the guys out there- it is great!

I agree with Emily. This reminds me of when I was mountain biking with a group of guys regularly while I lived in El Paso (talk about macho country!). I led several rides after a while, and one of the guys (and older gent) gave me a sticker that said, "Girls Kick ***". It was a badge of honor. I put it on my bike.

If I were younger and fitter, I was so totally wear this.

I'm not intimidated by my bike. I'm not afraid of it. I work hard and put the time in. I give it my all. I'm just not a fast rider. That doesn't mean my efforts or passion are any less real or valid than someone whose physiology enables them to ride faster.

[chicagogal]

When I bring my A-game, I can drop some of the fast club guys. I love it. It makes me feel strong and confident (and, like in the case with Emily, get a lot of compliments afterward from the more confident guys whose egos weren't shattered). However, I am SURE that if I were to wear that jersey on a ride with guys, they would put me through a world of pain just to prove that I don't deserve to be wearing it. Or even if they don't, I would be too nervous, feeling like I had something to prove, that I wouldn't be able to really "bring it". So, however much I do enjoy dropping the guys (or at least making them suffer in the chase), I don't think I could ever wear that jersey . . .

[aeiea]

I drop boys so I can pick them up.





Wish I had a better pick-up line than "Is that a hand pump in your pants, or are you happy to see me?"

Wah-waaaaahhhhhh.

Ditto.

"Is that a hand pump in your pants, ...

ROFL.
