    Trail Honey

    I saw this guy on my ride today and we both stopped and chatted for a while. How do you pick up a guy when you're two ships passing in the night or in this case two bikes passing on the trail?

    Maybe I should get some cards made.

    You ask him if he wants a copy of the picture in case it turns out so well that women cyclists world wide will want poster sized blow ups of the picture for their bedroom (It did! You've got good taste, Zen. Ooops, hope he's not lurking. Quick note to biker dude if he is: Dude, PM Zen. I'm married and bat for the other team).

    Anyway so you ask him if he wants a copy and promise to e-mail him a copy. He give you his e-mail, you send the picture, you two kids take it from there.

    Judging from body language and facial expression I think he likes you

    You know, I thought the same thing about that body language

    You're so clever, that's a good idea. I guess there just wasn't enough blood flow to my brain to think that well

    Swoon, what a hottie! You should have just scooped him up and explained later Zen!

    He also doesn't seem to know either which part of his hat is the front or which part of his head is the front

    MORE importantly, I can't tell what kind of bike that is... did you notice or were you too busy staring into his eyes?

    I only see bar-end extenders, which are pretty standard.

    if you're not going to wear a helmet, you need a huge reflector so people can see you and not run you over.

    i have a "pie plate" and I'm sure there are plenty of readers of this forum who have the reflectors that came on their bike.
    And to them i say there is nothing wrong with that, don't get out any tools!
