Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

me and my bike have a love hate relationship. Spend the kind of money I've spent and you'll understand. I take care of her, she causes me great pain, I throw more money at her...and so on...

I love my bikes too!!!
But I can't deny the need for women...
Women come & go for me(the way I like it), my bike seem to last a few years between uprgrades.

Groundhog?!?
Where are you riding???

Canada, Vancouver B.C. aka 604.
We got some pretty stuck up b*tches, but the ones on bikes are usually really down to earth, & not worried about FB/twitter updates every minute.
Even off the bike, I see many hotties daily.

But this pain is of the good variety!!! When I feel the same pain with girls/women, I know I had a great ride!(same as my bikes)
I like that my "girls/bikes" don't talk back, & when they do it doesn't cost much to shut them up!

Western NY, out in the country. I don't see many riders. I could have said roadkill instead of groundhogs. I think that all of the females are on a MUP, but would you really want to date someone that rides on a MUP? Seriously!!!

Groundhogs need love too. The key with 'em is to let 'em bite on your finger while you....ahhh forget it. Just talk dirty to them.

Actually, I call myself a cyclist or rider or roadie. Bikers ride Hogs, but only when the sun is shining, apparently.
