Bikers!!!

was so hoping for a motorcyle thread!

Same...

I don't think so! I have a couple friends who are big into biking and they're usually happy to see other people getting into it. Unless you're committing some kind of huge bicycle ettiquite fail or something...

I just got a beautiful Trek 7.3 for my fat *kitten*.

I really don't care what the hard core folks think. I have an ironman triathlete for a coach. His $12,900 specialized bike kicks all kinds of crazy *kitten* and he helped me get this bike.

If what I am doing is good enough for him, the so called "hard core" guys can bite my furry pale *kitten*.

I don't think so... I was in the bike lane, helmet, hand signals.... lol

You're in Austin, you can get away with just about anything on a bike Don't sweat it! I wanna get a bike soon just to ride for fun, no chance you're ever gonna see me in hardcore cycling gear!

For the most part, I'd say no. I'm rather "hard core" (I guess), and I think it's great to see anyone out on a bike. Could care less what they're wearing or riding.

Besides, who are we to pass judgment anyway? We look more ridiculous in our cycling clothes than you ever could I'm guessing. :happy:

Ride on!

My husband is a long distance Hardcore Rider - has completed several double centuries, and a 508 mile race through Death Valley as part of a 2 man team, and my son is a Hardcore racer, Category 1 on the Road and Track, has raced for the USA Junior National Team, and is currently racing for Full Circle Cycling p/b Pure Gear, and neither of them cares how others ride. As a matter of fact, my son has been known to tool around the neighborhood with friends, wearing jeans and his vans.

Good for you for getting out there!

And for the record... I completed a metric century (100 kilometers - 85.7 miles) wearing track pants.... there was no way I was stuffing my *kitten* into Lycra! :noway:

I just like the way the seat makes me feel.

you ought to try it on a Harley if you like that vibration between your legs.. :smokin:

You can't look any worse than me. I wear full lycra that's all sorts of colours, I'm going really fast so I don't look pretty and half the time my *kitten* is hanging out so It can't get much worse. I've got the trek 2.1 racing bike it's a really nice bike but I don't mind other cyclists, as long as you stay in the lane so I can go past you relatively easily then it's cool. It's the people that come off the kerbs after trying to take a shortcut that really annoy me because I'm going much faster and there's cars around.

Oh and to add to that, I did that route on a brompton one of those little fold up bikes, 20 mile round trip and I didn't care one bit! I switched to a mountain bike, then a 1980's racing bike then a road bike so I've enjoyed them all, never let people make you feel like that, the fitness levels are going up too

there is that guy that rides in a thong on 360...

That's a mental image I just didn't need....

He's REALLY tan! lol

LOL I would hope so!! I never create a mental image of these kinds of people being in shape though... I always go to something you'd see made into a motivational poster, ecard, or something you'd see on Tosh.0

Who cares what they think? My bike is from '88 and I don't wear any of those "uniforms". Oh and I ride motorcycles too and don't wear those silly outfits that the image seekers like to wear.
