Girls on Folding Bikes group on Flickr

N.B. contains a small amount of nudity, if nudity offends you, don't look!

I am happy enough that my wife likes to ride folders - not going to complain because she keeps her clothes on while doing it!

She's sexy enough for being a 66 yr old.

If any of you have any amusing, strange, arty, manga, chic, naughty or just plain interesting pics of people of the female persuasion that I can add I would be most grateful! ;o)

Thanks Digga, I've used several pics from these guys already.

And a huge thank you to all who have contributed. Any pics of GFs, Mums, Grans, daughters or complete strangers (the stranger, the better!) gratefully received.

Probably the best pics of lovely specimins of femininity and folding bikes on the whole planet!

I know! I've used at least one, there's just one thing I've noticed, it's all the same girl, i.e. the delightful Mrs H.
P.S. Wow! 13 new pics! Well done H'Amp!!!!!!

Hang on a second, Hmmmm? Would that be a Mr (nope, hang on even more! Mrs S) by any chance? Talking about wives & daughters, I see some striking resemblances in these pics! LOL!

Still haven't been back to Wales, so still no chance to sort the 'Traida' HoHum.......

Diolch yn fawr iawn! ;O)

Except for the three girls with no clothes on, NO! Sorry to make you look through the other 300-ish photos to find them!

P.S. try cotton or wool rich socks, that should cure your foot problem!

I suspect Chop started the girls on folding bikes group to emphasize the importance of using a man-parts-friendly saddle (like the Rido).

But, it's got small wheels and it's wacky! I'm in!

I'll link to it or something (haven't added a Youtube vid yet)

We're up to 500 items (photos, drawings etc)

Thanks to all who keep contributing.

I always liked this part of the forum because it didn't get up to the Road stupidity. Or so I thought.

And how might I ask do you work that out?

If you are referring to the small amount of nudity, what's the problem? There are only two body types, 'sticky out' and 'sticky in' I don't see anything dirty, demeaning or disgusting in any of the pics in this group, a few from the World Naked Bike Ride, and two from a naturist site (I'm a naturist when I get the chance).
I made sure that there was adequate warning that there were innocent nudes featured.
I'm only amazed that it took so long for someone to blow the moral trumpet.

There are some beautiful, soulful, chic, funny, clever and intruiging photos and drawings and quite a few female contributors.

As you can see, we evolved to enjoy the things in life we like, in my case, and quite a few others (male & female) that includes folding bikes and women.

The sad reality is that any thread with a title like "girls on bikes" invariably seems to morph into pictures of skinny women with very few clothes (post 16 is a case in point) and that feels pretty hostile to many. It's tiring, and it's maybe a little sad. Why "girls" anyway? We're not six years old with Barbie bikes.

Let the flame wars begin.
