Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I finally flipped..

me and my bike have a love hate relationship. Spend the kind of money I've spent and you'll understand. I take care of her, she causes me great pain, I throw more money at her...and so on...

I love my bikes too!!!
But I can't deny the need for women...
Women come & go for me(the way I like it), my bike seem to last a few years between uprgrades.

Groundhog?!?
Where are you riding???

Canada, Vancouver B.C. aka 604.
We got some pretty stuck up b*tches, but the ones on bikes are usually really down to earth, & not worried about FB/twitter updates every minute.
Even off the bike, I see many hotties daily.

But this pain is of the good variety!!! When I feel the same pain with girls/women, I know I had a great ride!(same as my bikes)
I like that my "girls/bikes" don't talk back, & when they do it doesn't cost much to shut them up!

Western NY, out in the country. I don't see many riders. I could have said roadkill instead of groundhogs. I think that all of the females are on a MUP, but would you really want to date someone that rides on a MUP? Seriously!!!

Groundhogs need love too. The key with 'em is to let 'em bite on your finger while you....ahhh forget it. Just talk dirty to them.

Actually, I call myself a cyclist or rider or roadie. Bikers ride Hogs, but only when the sun is shining, apparently.

Are you saying that my leather chaps are out of place riding my Specialized Allez?
