Mountain Bike spoof video

Thanks for sharing the video! It was a cute tongue-in-cheek for those of us who know how to take a joke. I have had girlfriends that actually ride like that, that is what makes it funny.

I can take plenty of jokes - just not ones that I find offensive. I'm floored that here on TE, a womens board that is based upon biking community support and encouraging women to bike, it's suggested that those of us who aren't amused don't have a sense of humor or "can't' take a joke" when we don't find humor in a video that we feel ridicules women, even if is done in a so-called cutesy role reversal way. Perhaps we can agree to disagree about whether this is funny or not, but please don't tell me I can't take a joke just because I don't find humor in the same places you do.

Oh I dunno. I thought it was funny, especially because it was deliberately offensive. I just found it funny, not mean. I'm guilty as charged of some of those things... though I'd never admit it out loud, while my dh never behaves like that.

(On the other hand, how often does a guy get to experience trying something physically challenging that his girlfriend or spouse is a lot better at?)
