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

My addiction is confirmed

So, I'm leafing through the October Playboy (yes, I read the articles too) and there is a five or six page pictorial of nude women on or next to bicycles. I'm a few pages past the pictorial when I realize that I focused on the bikes and barely noticed the beautiful naked women. Upon review, both the bikes and the women were fascinating and beautiful, each obviously in their own way.

Is there a support group I can turn to?

I'm sure the Playboy gals are great and ^ this isn't bad. But - speaking from the land of the Naked Bike Ride - not all bike porn is good porn.

Nothing here to suggest your life has become unmanageable. You just like bikes over nude women. Start looking at nude wiomen that are catwalk models of size zero. They have limbs the thickness of bicycle tubes and angles just as sharp. Thus, you are now looking at bicycle like nudes and can feel better about yourself.
Problem solved....next thread.

Not all nudity is good nudity. Not all nudity is porn. Not all porn is good porn. But... all bike porn is good bike porn if the focus is primarily on the bike.

There's nothing wrong with you. You happen to prefer reality is all. Those were probably steel bikes and that's why you focused on them. Because, as we all know, steel is real and Playboy models...not so much.

Steel is for pickup trucks. Not even for those so much, Ford is going aluminum.

While you're waxing nostalgic about how great steel is, you should send a few faxes and alphabetize your 8 track tapes.

8 track tapes are to be organized by genre and then alphabetized, CDO IS A SERIOUS MATTER

What is this post about?
