Another story, one year on RAGBRAI, there was a lace bra passing between the men in our group, sort of our version of the Yellow Jersey. After wearing it over my jersey in the morning, I went “topless” with just the bra in the afternoon. Since I’m more Pantani’s size than Petacchi’s, I was getting noticed by quite a few guys. Imagine their surprise when they saw my unshaven face!

OK, a more recent story: On one of my solo rides this year, I noticed a woman up the road. While passing, I said something about the hot weather or whatever. I eased up a bit, but stayed in front of her. A half mile later or so, she came up beside me and we had good conversation for 8 miles or so. We are both married so there were no motives, just two people having a good ride together. I’m always more than willing to talk with attractive, fit women!

Probably not that simple since most people wear sunglasses on rides. :) I find that most cycling sunglasses with pointy edges look kind of aggressive anyways.

I DONT! :D
Eye Conact here I come.
:p

Last time I tried that, the only response I got was "My eyes are up here!" ;)

hahhahaha.

Wow, this thread really took off, only advice I can offer is.......BE YOURSELF. Hey if she is looking and your looking just start talking, you will know right away if there is a mutual attraction. Oh and for the love of GOD, don't use any cheesy pickup lines, it doesn't work and she will just pedal faster to get away.

ride up on a chicks wheel, and just sit there for like a mile or two. If she tries to slow down and let you pass don't do it. after a while, pull up along aside and say, in your best Tom Jones voice,

"...I was trying to draft behind you there for a while, but you slipstream was so...thin.
Do you Nautulus?"

I'm not sure this will work. I crashed in front of a car with a hottie driving it. It was a full speed, helmut crushing, flesh tearing crash that must have looked awesome from her perspective. She slowed...rolled down her window and asked if I was alright. I was still taking mental inventory of my wounds and waiting for the wind to return to my lungs so I could only answer with a groan to which she replied "doesn't look like any bones are broken...good luck" and then she sped off.

I'd think twice before investing the pain into that approach.

Yeah, thanks.

Heard it and heard it used. I was trying to add a little off-colour levity, especially with the "I can see myself in your shorts".

By the way, crossdressing isn't that bad, but I just hate it when I get the thong on backwards. Especially as I'm trying to crawl out from under my rock. By the way, consider that words and sentences sometimes have more than one meaning and could be "ironical".

Keep working on it, I'm sure you'll get the hang of this forum-typing-reading thing.

Your're not supposed to get up - DUH!:p

But clever pick up lines will get this blonde every time!

Guys that go on the internet for tips on how to pick up women never pick up women. It's a proven fact.

Yo, how yu doin'?

Women like challenge, every time.....provided she's at least somewhat attracted to you.

Corsaire :D

My standby:

"How you like your eggs in the morning....
scrambled or fertilized"

Works every time. =)

If that isn’t bike specific, this one will do:

*said while shaking your head*”You with all those curves, and me with no brakes”

And since we are all healthy:

*The old up-and-down-look* “Damn, milk DOES do a body good”.

Or I just say Hi, flash a smile, and generally show what a dork I am and hope for the best.

Any women cyclists want to ride in front of me for a few laps around the block so I can practice my smile? ;) :D

Watching Launch VIdeos I am reminded of the Simple Plan video "I'm just a kid" where this dude steps out of his car and puts on his sun glasses all cool and suave and does "the walk" and then bam he gets hit by a passing vehicle.
and I am reminded of this thread :D cause you know thats always going to happen. You're riding by, there is a cute chick - maybe standing by or cycling and bam something stupid happens. Once there was this rock in the middle of nowhere and i managed to hit it. Nothing major, just a jostle.

* Mind if I join you?
or anything really. There is no wrong answer.

And after all this time we've spent staring at your toes. D'oh! ;)

It's in the eyes boyz. Eyes are the most important body part for meeting women. You've gotta make eye contact.

Always worked for me. I'm an old guy married to the hottest blonde on the planet.

Helped me get my girlfriend too :D
