I'm by no means look like the typical cyclist. I'm on the big side but I try hard when I ride.:p Lately I've been riding around home more. Gas sucks! The other day I'm riding up the hills. I pull up to an intersection with cars apssing on my left going straight while others pass on my right in the turn lane. The cars are careful and I pull on the side as they are at the redlight.

I take advantage and snag a sip of water from one of my bottles. As I look to my right, a woman in a car says hello. I return the hello then she smiles and asks, "how it's going?". I notice the nice car and reply,"just having some fun and getting some exercise". She smiles then says, "it's more than I'm doing". I return the smile then she drives off.

A mile or two further up the hill a woman approaches the stop sign in a beautiful black Mercedez:eek: I'm expecting her to roll out before I reach the street. I get close but she sits there. oh carp, she's going to wait for me to roll by. Makes me uneasy cause I feel like I need to pick it up so that the drivers don't need to wait too long for the cyclist. So I pick it up and as I approach, she smiles and watches me as I go by. I return the smile then she drives off. What a car!:thumb:

Later at a different part of town, I'm riding across rather than up, much easier. I approach a 4 way stop about 15 seconds after a car to the left. I'm turning left but as I pull up, the person waves me on. I can see a profile but the glare on the window shields the clear view. So I go, turn left then notice the window is down. I look over and there is a nice looking woman in a hot Mustang convertible giving me the thumbs up!:thumb:

Man, these woman are way out of my league but if my wife were to leave me, I'd ride my bike across town all day long!:innocent:...How about instead of "American Gigolo", the "Clydesdale Gigolo"?:roflmao2:

Any of you other big guys get the looks from the chick in hot cars while riding?

I know one thing, Gina won't be riding around town without me! I know what and Athenas can do to a man! And I;m thinking she can do beter than I can!:thumb:

I guess this goes to show, some wimmin like 'em BIG!:love:

Had a few nice legs from some of the college girls around my town. I did get one nice a_s but that was from a guy.

I was still flattered :lol:

AH, reminds me of when I first started wearing lycra. I stopped at a 7/11 for a Gatorade. I was standing outside drinking when some woman walks up and says,"niiiice legs". Since then, haven't been so self concsious about the lycra!:D

I did have a couple of young girls slow up and lean out the car one time waving, but once I took my earphone out I realized they were just looking for directions to Hooters. :rolleyes:

I'm just getting started and when I'm on a bike I look like an ape on a tricycle. On tonight's ride I passed a couple of young girls walking. I must have been the funniest thing they'd seen all day because they just about died laughing. I'm glad to provide free entertainment. :p

Just keep riding, before you know it, you'll look like Antonia Banderas/George Clooney/ Brad Pitt/Denzel Washington (PICK ONE:D). Then they'll be bringing you daisies!:thumb:

Well I just threw those names out there. I don't think much of them either. Besides, my wife says I'm better looking anyway!:roflmao2:

Real men ride in a carbon fiber codpiece. It makes your junk aero.

I get some looks, but not the right kind. Oh well. I'll just keep riding anyway.

On the last charity ride I was on, a hot female in a car honked and hollered. Of course, it's possible that she was hollering at the fit & tan young man that had just whooshed past me, but I don't KNOW that.

But I find all in all, unicycling is better for getting comments from other people.

Another thing that brings plenty of attention from the wimmins is a bell. Especially on an organized ride. I used to use on quite often. I used it as a warning but a whole lot of wimmins use them too. I get responding bells. Most of the time with a cute laugh or an ,"I really like your bell".

I got one when the wife was with me. She took my bell away when we got home!:o

My first organized ride was on my Navigator. 35 miles on it in a part of Indiana that is not very flat. I was riding with these two good looking women on basic road bikes(not Athenas) who were very friendly and seemed interested in the fact that I could more than keep up with them. I eventually dropped them in the hills--something I am proud of to this day.

One told me during the ride: "Don't worry, you can tell your wife we're ugly!" I nearly ran into the ditch! :innocent:

Im lucky enough that my "clyde-ness" sits mostly from the waist up and that over the years I have developed a sweet pair of skier legs. In high school those where what I trained, and at one point could put up 900 on the inverted leg press machine. I remember a gym teacher telling me my calves looked like basketballs. So those have netted me a few complements.

Otherwise, I am pasty white and flabby around the midsection. The skiing that kept my legs hot leads to afternoons in the bar where my core went downhill real fast after I stopped training.
