wabbit - you're on to something! Or how about the girls who are nervous about being seen in bike shorts but will wear micro skirts, go-go boots and push-up bras to a club? Interesting world we live in.

That said, after 2 rides with my G/F, things are slowly progressing. We made it about 12 miles at a slightly faster pace this past weekend and she was riding clipless (per my urging) and liking it a lot. So I'm hopeful this will work out after all...
