minimum milage for lycra get-up?

[Landslide]

If all you want to do is flaunt your gorgeous body, then the distance doesn't really matter, For all any bystanders know, you could have ridden 1 mile to pass them or 100...

And now we've arrived at my quandry. I don't just want to flaunt it (that's the easy part) I want to justify it.

Its complex, I know. But looking good but not feeling the part fills me with cognitive dissonance.

I was hoping the world of cycling would be full self-conscious style freaks that would share this trouble with me. Surley nobody buys red tyres because they make you go faster than the black ones of the same make? Surely you don't remove the spoke reflectors for the weight?

Deluded?

A strange thing happened on my commute home the other evening.
Oops, wrong thread, but I feel its apt.

There is a human sub-conscious reaction when a person sees an member of the oposite sex they would like to mate with.

In the male, he momentarily loses the ability to raise his leg. Often occurs while walking past a cutie and heel scrapes the ground. This is the nerve to the erectile tissue taking command over the nerve to the leg flexor.

In the female, she momentarily loses the ability to straighten her legs. The "weak at the knees" effect. It is the nerve which commands the 'spread em' reaction over-commanding the glutus major.


I was riding up an incline, out of the saddle, giving it some in a fairly high gear when I was startled by the crunching of gears from the car following.
I looked around in shock to see a young lady in a Fiesta crawling up the hill behind me.

As she overtook, she gave an embarrassed smile and raised a hand to appologise.

You see, she momentarily lost the ability to straighten her clutch operating leg when she looked at my physique.

Other cyclists can dream of being lusted over, so dream on pretty boy

ROFL jimbo... is that a true story and a true fact?

 

[Lisa21]

I could see myself in the shop windows and I looked pretty sexy. I could feel lots of ladies steering at me, lusting.

Sweetheart you're deluded.......im sure they were thinking "look at that knob-he really fancies imself dunnee"

Or it was not a spelling mistake, they were not staring, but as you say..steering. In their cars maybe

But there is nowt wrong in trolls.Id quite like one as a pet actually

Oh and Jimboalee, I am rather disturbed by your theory and hope that you are-for once-wrong. you see, there is a highly unnatractive and B.O. smelling little oik who rounds up the trolleys in my local supermarket(I shall not say which one but every little DOES help)who does look at me and always says hello(sweet) but unfortunately drags his leg when he walks past me.Please tell me this does not mean what you happened to hint that it may. Am quite unnerved

 

[Sittingduck]

As long as your knee's don't snap to attention when he appears, you should be OK Lisa

 

[Lisa21]

"Happened to hint". No hint.

Ladies have another uncontrolable subconcious reaction when they are walking toward a man ( mostly total strangers ) in the street they take a fancy to.

Chaps - When you are walking down the high street, don't watch the lady's boobs, watch their eyes.
If she fancies you, she will uncontrolably glance down at your lunchpack.

Lisa. It has been said there is more chance of meeting your future partner in the supermarket than winning the lottery.
That I can believe.
