Can you imaging having to ride with this young woman, who doesn't have the sense to even mount a bottle cage on her bike? She'd constantly be asking to take a sip from your water bottle.

Sheesh. Some people...

I've been here too long........the first thing I noticed in Paulie's bike chick pic was the high flange front hubs.

And BP, no jokes about slotted saddles!

She is at less 50 now. Bike looks like early 1970's and she looks to have been near 20 years old when photo was taken.
