I think you'll need to offer her one big (chain)ring before she'll let you ride her.

Both are too tall for me, but I always ride at the top of the handles anyways.

I'm going to stick to the PC route and say that I find both the woman and the bicycle very pretty.

But not in the same way, because that would objectify the woman.

That is all.

Bikes: '74 Raleigh LTD-3, '76 Motobecane Grand Jubile, '83 Fuji TSIII (customized commuter), '10 Mercier Kilo WT (fixed obsession), '83 Bianchi Alloro, '92 Bridgestone MB-1 (project), '83 Specialized Expedition (project), '79 Peugeot UO-8 (sold)

Were the two to be photographed again today, it would serve as proof that a bike ages better than a woman (though I think the right woman is probably more valuable than a bike).

It might age better, but I've the feeling that the bike is still the same - the woman gets better with age!
