Looking at Nanci's Lava, admiring all the "stuff" she manages to carry, it occurred to me to wonder if that has anything to do with me being a Cancer. Cancers are supposed to love to make a home, and to be very nurturing. I deliver babies for a living, and carry everything you need to survive a natural disaster in my purse and in my seat bag on my bike.
So I got to wondering--what kind of cyclists are people born under the various signs? Like...Leos might have really, really beautiful custom painted bikes. And Geminis might need at least two bikes all the time... What'd'ya think, ladies of TE?

I'm not so sure.....
I'm a Leo and I certainly don't have a custom painted bike. In fact, I don't have custom anything as far as I can remember. Not that I wouldn't want one, I'm just too cheap. I like to think of myself as practical. I have a bike that I can use for any type of riding I might do. One that can handle being handled. One that can be used and not just admired. I'm a clutz so anything too fancy I would be afraid to even touch.

But I love that in your avatar, you are literally tied to a cat! Mrrrow!
I'm speculating about Leos and fancy bikes--my ex is a Leo and had a custom paint job done on her bike--I don't remember her ever riding it! But it sure was pretty. Better an all-around useful bike that you actually ride, eh?Run like a dachshund! Ride like a superhero! Swim like a three-legged cat!

See...being practical again. Cat needs the vet and I can either walk or cycle the two miles. Cycling lets me sleep in 15 minutes longer. So I strap the cat on my back and cycle. And of course cheaper than getting a taxi.

sorry, I am a cancer as well, and I don't carry nearly a survival kit in my purse - cell phone, lipstick, and lots of old receipts.

Aries here. Headstrong, agressive, selfish, energetic, and always looking to jump into new things.
Guess thats why I jumped right into cycling. Got me a road bike, got clipless pedals right away, joined a riding group right away.... didn't really give myself any time to 'acclimate' or think whether I'd like it or not. I told myself I'd like cycling, and I did.

Yipeee, I'm the first Aquarian to post. I have the yin and yang of bikes. (Big red) Fred is a Redline Cyclocross and Felicia Golightly is a dainty Trek 1500 WSD.
Fred is particularly happy; recently I picked a bunch of sand out of his bottom bracket, oiled his brake cables and bought him a pair of shiny red Ortlieb panniers. He purrrred home yesterday from work.
Felicia is pining after the Brooks saddle I promised her.
Some people's bikes, can't just fix up one.....
Aquarius: what IS so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

I'm not sure how my sign relates to biking, but I think peace, love and understanding just rocks! Originally Posted by Quillfred

Another Leo who is to cheap for custom.
Haven't been riding much lately, but am looking forward to being on two wheels again (and not the cheating way).

As I see it, biking is racing in the wind and Aquarius being an air sign...sort of like flying on the ground. Originally Posted by bikerHen

Another Aries here. Although I've never thought of myself as headstrong, agressive, selfish, energetic, and always looking to jump into new things. I'm somewhat cautious really.
My best friend who knows quite a bit about Astrology says I'm the most low key Aries she's ever met. That could be the Libra Moon, Leo Rising and Venus in Taurus?
I think I can be very focused and driven.
Oh, and I think in Chinese horoscope I'm a monkey? 1956?
Road Bike-Mondonico Futura Legero Campy Record etc blah blah...custom color, custom frame.
Commuter-GT Outpost Trail before they got suspension, upgraded to clipless and slicks so far. Stay tuned.

Wow! But of *course* she has a rack of names like a pedigreed dog, or a royal baby. She is, after all, a pedigreed bike, maybe even a princess. Originally Posted by Trek420

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
