    Why I prefer this forum...

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    So, I posted on my cycle club forum, if I could find a bolero locally. Instead of a constructive response from this guy, I get obnoxious questions. At first I didn't think he was being snide, then it just got infuriating. Dude! I just wanted to know where to get it, not your policing of my cycling wardrobe!!

    Duh! It looked like at first he actually was intrigued but then he realized it was a "girl thing". Doofus! You should go find him on a ride and drop him. Wearing the bolero.

    It's supposed to close? I thought I just ordered it two sizes too small.

    That's why I like this cycling forum too! All women and we do not have to fear anything we present in this forum. We are protected by the sisterhood!
    I may just wear my bolero to work today.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    so did you find one after all that hassle? Sounds like Doug was the saviour of the day there offering to check on one for you! Bless that man for his sensitivity!

    Well, there were none I could find in the city so I mail ordered from REI before I saw that note. I thanked him though.

    yeah right

    and we have Bolero's here

    http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=17006

    Am I the only one who hears the theme from the mover "10: in the background whenever the board talk turns to Bolero? (I think it's Bizet's piece by that name which was the movie theme)

    Ugh! I'd be curious to see Evan's style and wardrobe... I'm guessing ratty jeans and sloppy t-shirts... and what does he care anyway? It's not like you asked HIM to wear one...

    I'm thinking a whack upside the head may do him some good...
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    LOL - after reading the mentioned posts that sounds like a great idea.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
