Unexpected Cager Comment
Okay, so this morning I'm down in the drops, riding up a hill on my way to work. I hear a car coming up on me, kinda slow, and hear yelled out at me: Woo-woo! Sexy a$$! 
I look left as the car is passing me and it's a couple of high school girls, grinning at me and waving!
OMG! I mean, I know riding is good for my physical condition (hence my moniker), but since I'm not limber enough to check it out myself, I just didn't have any idea! I guess I could tell my wife and say "see, honey, that $1200 was well spent." Or maybe I won't. 
I'm so used to reading BF posts about rude comments and flung items that I just had to share this grand and glorious moment with all of you. I can't help wondering, though, if they were just playing with my mind? Whadda think?

Ah, time for one of my other favorite Wooderson lines: "That's what I love about high school guys, man. I keep getting older, but they stay the same age. Yes they do."

Anyway, I have heard just as many "good" comments as bad ones while riding, but I have a feeling the good ones are usually a joke.

once I was riding up to an intersection in a quasi-right hand turn lane. A car came up behind me and waited for a couple secs. I moved over to the left side of the lane so they could make a right turn. the guy rolled down his window and said "thanks". I was in shock and couldn't say a thing.

I always wonder if this is how the kids are making fun of us now...
Hey, let's yell out the window at these guys and make them think we're sexy.
I'm NOT a sexy man. This much I know. My wife reminds me, just in case. They can't be laughing with me... it must be at me.

Well I turned 40 this week and I got carded in a bar not too long ago. I've had youngins yell stuff at me. Usually it's something about my legs, or just generic hooting. I have nice legs. 
(My wife says so.) The older I get, the more females seem to pay attention to me. Hmm. 40 is the new 20!

Ok, I'm an escapee from the 50+ sub-forum and have my own theory about that. I believe they're saying, "You know, maybe when I'm 80 I'll get me one of those fit-at-60 [or whatever] types."

I guess I could tell my wife and say "see, honey, that $1200 was well spent."
Dude, your wife already knows.
And they probably weren't sure of your age, either. Reasonably fit cyclists all look the same from behind, especially to people who don't look at a lot of cyclist ass.
