Hitting on a chic while on the bike
 

Just curious, I've been noticing a lot of decent, in shape looking chics (to my surprise) out there lately doing rides (weekends particularly), so I wondered what would you guys do or how would you approach (hit on) them while on the bike, either going against or in the same direction ?

Would you come up with a cheesy pick up line or just try to engage her into a conversation?

What would you say to her ?

Now, I've realized many of you are married or engaged, but still would like your opinion as if you were not (just don't let your wife or fiance read this post)

Corsaire :D

best pickup line ever:

"Hello", accompanied by a smile... works every time. (worked for me a few weeks ago...)

You've gotta be going in the same direction for this approach to work :D

And don't talk about yourself, how many miles you rode, how expensive your bike is, etc.
At least give the appearance of being interested in them...
questions help to move a conversation along better than statements.

However, if she's in the middle of a workout, she doesn't want to be bothered.
If you're worth being noticed, you're worth being remembered just the same.

(lurks with great interest...)

ROFLMAO

Dude, conversation is always better than a cheesy pick up line.

I have to run, but im coming back to this thread ASAP, I love stuff like this...

even more than the doping threads.

or the ladies :p

Name that pickup line source.

You can't lurk, that could scare her...too many maniacs out there, gotta make her feel that is safe to talk to you first I'd think.....

Corsaire :rolleyes:

I get the impression that most on this site would be too busy geeking over their Bike to even notice.

Wanna come back to my place for a cool-down spin?

If I said you had a beautiful jersey would you hold it against me?

You must be reaching LT, because you've been running through my head all day.

I'm happily married and have been for 18 years. With that context, I would guess that:

1) A lady would prefer you introduce yourself and try to engage her in conversation rather than use some artificial line.

2) Lots of ladies exercising are weary of guys trying to hit on them while they are working out, some got away from a gym and out on a bike for that very reason.

3) Either way, many ladies will smell a condescending attitude ("Let me show you what a real cyclist looks like, honey") a mile away. So don't bring that.

YMMV.

LOLROTF ! (dude, you've got some imagination)

Funny, something like this happened to me last Saturday.
Out on my 35-mile hilly route, I came up from behind on a rider, which usually gets my interest. (Something to chase and pass or be humbled by)

As I got closer, and it became clear this was a woman riding. As I got closer it became clear she was in very good shape. As I got closer it became clear that she was a very good-looking athletic lady that smelled good even while riding.

Hmmm....I thought to myself.....if I were a single man....

It then became clear that I was going to pass her on a climb. I felt strange about staying behind her...like i was lurking or something....so I slowly passed and gave her a smile saying, "It sure is going be nice going the other way WITH the wind."

She agreed and smiled back.
There you have it. A single guy could have taken that meeting and run with it at that point.

I however, a happily married man, rode on, now worried that she may be following me! It took me a couple of miles and a stop sign to turn around to check. She wasn't there.

sorry, cheesy lines only work on cheesy girls:

1) We're chicks, not chics
2) Don't ask the GUYS how they'd hit on us, ask the girls how they'd like to be approached, and IF they'd like to be approached.
3) on second thought, don't, because you'll probably get the flaming of your life
and lastly,
4) DO NOT come up with a cheesy pick up line. I've never once known one to work.

But, as a public service, I'll share this chick's thoughts and advice. If she's in the middle of her ride/workout, don't bug her, especially if she's going the opposite direction - and by "bug" I mean keep at it, even if she's given you the brush-off. If you're going the same direction and are going to pass her (and try to ride with her) greet her and see how she responds. "Good morning! How's it going today?" should suffice. If her response is short "fine, thank you," and she doesn't ask make eye contact or ask how you are back, move on. Otherwise, if she is willing to chat, feel free to engage in conversation and see where it takes you. And please refrain from any and all commentary on the woman's physique. You'll probably get farther by admiring her bike than her backside.

Best wishes.

:roflmao: Cyclists and Pickup Lines.

I feel you're in the right direction on how to do it right. Good.

Corsaire :)

"Hey! You must wash your bike shorts in Windex.......because I can see myself in them."

Kidding...married...

So true... I was in a traffic light, stopped, girl on the opposite side on the a bike... I looks at bike for 5 secs trying to figure what brand it is... Makes eye contact, girl has a quizzical look on her face.. point to my roof rack and smile.. she smiles back... light turns green...

rofl. I know a few girls that don't like being called chicks or babes :p I found out the hard way, because I usually used the terminology pretty loosely.

A married man always has more confidence.

Very good ! H2O

The other way around: Would you hit on the guy while on the bike if you find him attractive ?

My guess is you'd find a way to let him know he could approach you, am I wrong ?

or you would not just do it ?

Corsaire :D

crash on the side of the road. see if she stops to help you. if so, then you have something to talk about. if she rides past you, then she's not the girl for you.

Haha. I must be an expert on that subject. Well at least the crashing part. Now just gotta find the perfect moment.

Me + 25mph + lady + barbed fence + hil + curve :p Damn thats gonna hurt though

I wouldn't ever dream of bothering someone out on a ride.
If I knew I was about to pass, I'd ring a bell to announce my presence, pass as quickly as possible, and just nod with a friendly smile in her direction while passing.

If she'd start talking at that point, I'd stick around for a bit, but only then.

So you're playing for the "oooh, poor puppy" instinct, not the "what a clumsy, inept, over-classed, unworthy to father my childen" instinct.

Riiiiight.

LOL !!! En typisk svara fran en svensk ! typical swedish your answer, shy and shy away.

Corsaire :p
