In the Mid-Atlantic, male to female ratio is (argueably) 3:1. |

Also, you don't need to find a partner that rides, but you have to find one that is tolerant of your riding. If she rides, that CAN BE a bonus. Keep in mind though, that if she rides, you will have to ride at a pace you both enjoy. (Hope you can keep up.) :D |

Before providing any semi intelligent comment ... i.e. "you're probably better of without her" ... or "why'd you let her get away" ... I'm afraid , we'll need to see a photo of the "ex" before judgement can be passed.

Not saying the OP or his now-ex are are any of these bad sorts of people, by the way, just that laying the blame for the failure of every relationship where cycling is involved on the woman is absurd. It's hurtful and isn't productive in terms of developing some actual skills in relating to people. Men aren't the only real people on the planet, after all. Women are humans, too. I don't why so many people persist in believing otherwise. In any case, people have different needs and priorities. If those don't match up, it just isn't going to work. It seems best in those cases to move on, rather than keep slogging along until things implode. Good for the OP, on moving on from a relationship where the priorities didn't match - but don't assume that a significant other is by definition an impediment to cycling or other fun. I have a girlfriend who, while she isn't a cyclist, understands the drive and demands of an athletic pursuit. She's a long-time rower, so she's familiar with racing sport. So far, my cycling hasn't been a problem. If it turns out that I am using my riding and talk of bicycles and such to avoid doing emotional work in our relationship, there will be a discussion, but it won't be about how either of us are bad for not giving the other person exactly what they want all the time. It'll be about making time for one another and whether that's a realistic possibility at that time. It seems like a more adult way of dealing with the relationship/athletics issue than just mouthing-off about "that b!tch." |

If someone wants an opinion, I'll give it to them. Having one that isn't mine, is not the least bit "adorable", and I don't care what kind of hair care products you prefer. :D |
If it's any condolence,
