A woman is like carbon or aluminum frames. Fun, and good for a little while... but keep them long enough, ride them hard enough, and they crap out...

i like my bike. i really like my bike. but it doesn't taste near as good as my girlfriend i can assure you that.

haha if so, that dude owes me like 2 shirts and a few tapes. nothing worse than waiting for a package that never comes!!!

Not that I've ever tasted my bike...

but +1

the contents of this thread could be titled "why bikes are better than heterosexual men."

I'd rather have a bike than a heterosexual man. Maybe that's just me.

Will be the judge of that......... :D

More than a few of you have some serious problems.

so it seems.

Easy, when I ride my bike bareback, it doesn't get knocked up.

yup.

Hah!

I'm still waiting for my conflict back patch.

someone needs to get his terminology straight, or otherwise repeat 8th grade health class

Half of them will start getting better once puberty releases its hold. The other half will continue blaming others for their personal issues*.


*never unsdestood why some guys would constantly complain about their girlfriend/wife. It's not like they didn't have a choice - you just sound like an idiot walking around essentially bragging about what a poor descision maker you are.

To the original topic - the best is riding with your wife and she is riding a bike that she built herself.

no, it's not just you. i'm right there with ya.

Fer shure. And my bikes won't buy me wine or a new TV...

I also laughed at this comment, but, alas, I do have a serious girlfriend. We have been dating for three years, about to get married, so the comment, while funny, is not true. When we do get married though, I am afraid it will be true.

see that's your mistake, try giving your girl the (whatever amount of time here) first then going for a 4 hour bike ride... that's what I do...

this thread has the potential to get me and other girl posters on this forum VERY FKN IRATE..

senses of humor/grains of salt aside, ppl may want to rethink statements like "your bike actually likes exercising" or "A woman is like carbon or aluminum frames. Fun, and good for a little while... but keep them long enough, ride them hard enough, and they crap out..."

presumably, the people who make such statements don't care.

awww, c'mon.

exactly the problem. those grains of salt are not to be put aside in a --admittedly stupid-- thread like this

Hey if you call yourself turd you better have good sense of humor. :P

plus 99.6% would leave said bike unlocked laying on the sidewalk as they follow the first beautiful woman that actually gave them the time of day, into her building...

Most of these go back to before bikes, and political correctness, was invented.
The original article was probably titled: "Why Chariots are better than..."
In the interest of equality, both the "better than men" and "better than women" versions are below:
