General Cycling Discussion - Who would be your ideal riding partner?

I'd choose Seven of Nine from Star Trek. You work out why.:D

There is a big advantage as well. If you bugger up your rear derailleur, she keeps a spare on her face. Neat, eh?

Who's yours?

Any other cycling drummer: Neil Peart, Manu Katche, someone like that.
Or Boo Radley from To Kill A Mockingbird.

Mine would be Barny the Dinosaur, and I'd take him off the biggest drop off in the world and laugh watching him fall muuuhhahahahahaha (ofcourse I would be wearing a hidden shute...)

Rich

Boo Radley was my first choice also but to be different I'll take Big Foot. The smell is not so great but you can sit in his draft and work at 30% at 35 mph. He's also a chick magnet.

one of these guys!

Y.T. from Neil Stephenson's Snow Crash; why? Magna-poon[1]. That, and Liquid Knuckles.

[1] For those that have never read the book, Y.T. is a RadiKS Kourier. Kind of like a Courier, except they ride nastily high-tech skateboards through traffic, latching on to the cars with magnetic "harpoons", using the rushing traffic to tow them around.

My perfect riding parters:

Me
Myself
and I

I am a loner......

Hmm, forget Y.T. =) Chevette Washington from William Gibson's Virtual Light. She's a S.F. bicycle courier.

Any one that has more tallent then me and makes me push my limits that much farther.

Rich, if I remember correctly, haven't you just recently gone and got yourself assimilated?:D

dirtbikedude,

Is that spiked punk hair or are you wearing a WWII German war helmut. ;)

It's just you average flat top cut. What you assume is a spike is just a freak of nature:p

On my comfort hybrid - my wife.
On the road bike - just me.

count me in , as one of your riding Partners,

Me, myself and the guy/girl buying the beer...:beer:

i think that the best one would have to be another little me!!!
Ahhh that would be fun!

Jared

Anna Kournikova, I would like to ride her!!!!:)

No one. I really prefer riding on my own. I don't like talking I just wanna ride. Same in the Gym.

I suppose myself. Then the competition would be totally equal. I hate smoking people and/or being smoked.

Some attractive, intelligent single guy who goes a little slower than I do. :p

Ink, i can go as slow as you want me too ;)

Any car owner who hasn't ridden a bike since they were a kid.

Anyone who will ride nekkid with me!

Attractive ... scratch that
Intelligent ... not a chance
Single ... nope
Slower ... BINGO !!!

I'm riding to Wisconsin post haste !!!

I have ridden alone so long that I don't exactly know how to ride with someone else (except my wife, of course; but she doesn't know how to ride a bike. We're talking bikes, right?)

Ya, I guess my wife would be my ideal riding partner, having had the most experience!

:thumbup:

Paola Pezzo...

A, she kicks ass
B, easy on the eyes
C, refer to "B"

count me in , as one of your riding Partners,

hey orguasch, anytime! picking up my new Bianchi Axis tomorrow; can't wait.

I've looked and looked for years and years, all through the country side and through just about all of the towns, I've ridden miles and miles on all kinds of roads and all kinds of trails. I'm really starting to think she's just not out there, so I go it alone.

My wife is my ideal partner, though I have to slow down a bit for her. It's amazing how when touring, we can spend all day talking to each other.

if she wasn't available, and Colonel Wilma Dearing didn't have a jumpsuit with a chamois liner, then it would have to be Toyah (http://www.geocities.com/toyahdreamscape/index.html)

My wife is the only person I've ridden with, though to stay with her, I have to slow down to what feels like a crawl for me. So most of the time I ride by myself.
Having said that, there is a regular who comes to the restauarant I work at who's seen me biking to work an few times and asked me if I'd want to go out riding with her, to which I said, "HELL YEAH!", in my imagination. Yeah right.

Wife: Where are you going honey?
Me: Out biking.
Wife: Alone?
Me: No. This 20 year old English petite red head with a killer body who comes in to my work and sits in my section every time is coming by to meet me.
Wife: That's great sweetie. I'm glad you found someone to ride with. Oh by the way, I'll have your things and some suitcases on the front lawn for you when you get back.

And yes, for those of you who think I'm morally repugnant, I've told her I'm married and have 2 kids.

I ride with lots of people. Sometimes I ride alone.

I'm a lucky guy. The friend I go on tour with rides at about my pace, is pretty good company, doesn't complain, shares my attitudes toward adventuring, tells a good story and he's a professional bike mechanic. In a word, we're compatible. He's about as close to an ideal cycling partner as can be found in an imperfect world.

:D Trollie are you following me?

Someone who wants to ride just a little faster than I do.

Lance Armstrong as my tandem stroker.

some dumb sexy blonde who thinks i'm the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Raiyn! Are YOU following ME?? (I registered here before you did!)

Good to see one of my boyfriends on here!

:love:

Robin Williams. I might not get very far but I'd get fit laughing my ass off. On the other hand, he's known to be more than a fairly obsessed rider. What a good combo.

And all along I thought you were a regular guy.

My riding partner is my husband, who is ideal, but my ideal riding partner is Superman. :D

No, MrFix. I know this little troll. She's a terrible flirt. She wants any guy in padded shorts for a boyfriend. Watch out, she'll be after you next.

One could only hope.

Does that include sumo wrestlers?

To some girls, they represent the ultimate Chippendales fantasy.:D

My clone :D
