Commuting - I'm a sucker for a cute face...

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I was stopped at a light today (yeah I couldn't pull the right turn fakey) and adjusting my disc brakes (i thought the QR's were loose) when this cute asian girl pulls up next to me in this specialized allez with red tires. Then she takes off so I got back up and took off too, anyway, I decided to slow down and draft behind her for a bit knowing that I had a right turn coming up (a real right turn) and she runs full speed into this huge mass of broken glass, like she was testing out the armadillo's or something. Well, stupid me, I wasn't paying attention to what was in front of her and ran full speed into it too. Afterwards I said to her, "glad you have those armadillo's now huh?" She turned and said something like, "stop sucking my wheel you perv!", or was it, "yeah I hate to stop for flats." I dunno there was a lot of wind noise in my ears, anyway, keep your eyes on the road!

Dude, you need a girlfriend, STAT. This isn't the first time you've mentioned "cute girls" in the Commuting forum... I guess you missed the glass because you were too busy checking out the tires, right? bah! forget it, we all know what you were checking out. :eek:

hot girls are one of the most dangerous hazards on the road, only second to speeding cars and trucks.

I heard what she said, it was......"If you can catch me, you can have me!"

Then you'd think some of that "youthful energy" would be sapped by your speedy commute. :D

Maybe you should try to get your girlfriend onto a bike?

She has a giant cypress and a specialized allez elite. She'd bike to work too but victorias secret is a b***h about people even changing in the locker room, let alone cleaning up. She did it once and none of the managers minded cept this one b***hy one who whined and moaned about it all day.

Biking in the summertime by the lake is fun ... if ya know what I mean. The only drawback is too many people on the weekends.

Slvoid, Ah just wait ... in fewer years than you care to think about you will fall victim to "creepy old guy syndrome" as my wife and I refer to it. This occurs when you are around a group of young women (college age, 20 somethings) and you are certain that you are only "a couple of years older" than they. You are discreetly being lecherous and you hear one of the young lovelies say something like, "is that old guy watching us?" ... or "I think that old guy's going to hit on you" ... or "what's up with that creepy old guy".
In your head you hear shattering glass as that delicate structure of ego collapses under the weight of reality. You have become the creepy old guy ... no longer just a couple of years older than your intended prey, game over. You wrap your trenchcoat around yourself and slink off to the minivan. The only recourse is to buy that flashy sports car and try to impress them with your bigger paycheck.

yep - that's a situation you gotta watch carefully. i remember this guy in the airport talking to a couple of 18 year old girls. in his mind it was probably just fine, having a good time - maybe even thinking these girls think he's cute. to a bystander it looked like a dirty old man trying to relive his youth by hitting on young girls. i hope to never be *that* guy.

It's prolly not company policy,but that manager. Back in my younger days,when I thought money was more important than free time,I had a part-time job doing stock at Vicky's. Used to change into work clothes in the bathroom all the time,never heard a peep about it.
By the way,tell your GF I said 'via con dios'. There's no way I'd work on the floor in that store. Not even if the catalog models stopped by every day. Waaay too much crap to deal with,with the customers. I used to feel real sorry for the floor girls at X-mas time when it really turned into a zoo.
I don't think it's company policy either cause it says nothing about that in their employee guidelines. She said they'll even allow a customer to walk into the store with a bike. I'm not sure if all stores allow that but she's at the NYC main store.
She's a cashier, so she doesn't have to deal with the mess, but yeah it still gets pretty hectic sometimes. I know she gets paid more than the managers and everyone else there, so it's not too shabby.

Keep Your Hands To Yourself - Song Lyrics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing a ling a ling
Want to call you on the telephone, give you a ring.
But each time I talk I get the same old thing
Always no huggy no kissy 'til I get a wedding ring.
Honey my babe don't put my love on the shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.
I said baby oh baby why do you keep me this way?
You know I'm still your loverboy, I still feel the same way.
She told me a story 'bout free milk and a cow,
She said no huggy no kissy 'til I get a wedding vow.
Honey my babe don't put my love on the shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.
Well I wanted her real bad and was about to give in
When she started talkin' 'bout love, and talkin' 'bout sin.
I said honey I'll live with you for the rest of your life,
She said no huggy no kissy 'til you've made me your wife
Honey my babe don't put my love on the shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.

You know... I'm only 22 right? (Well, 23 in a few) :p
Dirty old man.. not. Perv? that's for the courts to decide...
Hehehe.. man I know I say this all the time but sudden summer thunderstorms combined with poor vehicular visibility and white tanktops makes for probably the most dangerous riding imaginable.

I think the song going through her head was, "Private Property" - Judas Priest. :D

Damn, you DO have an imagination. I'm about a year older than you, and I already think you are a creepy old man. ;)
Seriously though, my girlfriend's college roommate met up with a different 40+ year old man every weekend. She'd give them what they wanted, and they'd buy her nice clothes and stuff. It was really gross in some ways, but she really seemed to enjoy herself, she certainly wasn't being 'abused' or anything, and it planted a seed of hope for me when I'm eventually that age. ;)
But wait, biking? Is that what we were talking about?
peace,
sam

I think that I have reached the point, at 54 years, where I am no longer creepy but have become "that sweet old guy who will change your flat tire or wait for you if you get to the ride late and everyone else is leaving." I am not threatening anymore. I am cuddly. I love that.

I bike on the boardwalk along the beach in OC and LA. Just this past Sunday I got in a nice 26 mile cruise.

I love Priest but boy does that song suck!!!!

A lot of people feel that way about the whole Turbo album with all the electronic instruments.

"However, I did feel a bit creepy after a while, being a married father of two daughters. I can't help but thinking about how I'm probably closer in age their parents than them. And, yes, I told my wife about my flight companions!"
"Seriously though, my girlfriend's college roommate met up with a different 40+ year old man every weekend. She'd give them what they wanted, and they'd buy her nice clothes and stuff."
Bah! What's the big deal? As men get older, they are more able to provide women with what they want out of a relationship. And younger women are more able to provide men with what they want. As long as both parties are seeing benefits for themselves, what's the big deal? My girlfriend's 1/2 my age and my wife hasn't even been born yet...

Afterwards I said to her, "glad you have those armadillo's now huh?"
You said WHAT to her?! LOL, get a grip man.
a) She probably didn't even know her tires were armadillos.
b) She probably didn't even notice the glass.
c) "Drafting" someone as you put it is kind of creepy. I mean you're only getting about town, not riding the Tour De France.

What if he was successful? You sure you wouldn't want to be him?
