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!!

Why not go out on a limb? That's where all the fruit is!

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.

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!"

Oh, you got that right...bet if he came on TE he'd die of embarassemnt reading some of our very personal posts about female issues....I hope his speedos shrink in the middle of a very important race and he turns blue from the pain!!!
There's nothing to stop traffic like a fat lady on a bike with a flourescent flag...

There's always gotta be one jerk, doesn't there? Or should I say at least one jerk.

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.
