But I never do that in Road, because of the catcalls and/or insults about how I/we look that I think I would end up with.
it's not just road.
a few months ago, someone posted pics from a ride. in the one of the pics there was a woman.
while that pic resulted in an insipid post by a RC poster, things got weird when one of the Foo Flakes chimed in, then went on to create a thread about her.
