Y is it when i go out riding i always see blokes blokes blokes, Never great looking girls? Dont get me wrong i av some great mates that i ride with but every now and then its nice to ride with the female of the species where are they all? ;0)
There seem to be loads in Hampshire. They're also cross bred with whippets I think!
do you think it might be because there are men looking for them?
i certainly wouldn't want to feel like i was being viewed as a sex object when i went out for a ride.
(i get this anyway cause i am damn fine and a man, all man, like the way men use to be, like proper, and stuff)
seriously, the macho attitude adopted by some in our sport puts some ladies off.
Are you a great looking guy then mikeclarke?
hell, wheres good to ride in hampshire im on my way!! The states is great but its abit far to travel for a weekends riding?
Funny, I see very few in Hampshire when I'm riding there!
There's always a mix in QECP
cinnamon_girl ur so shallow its not about the looks lol. macho bullshit defo not!
nichetastic stoney - riding a fixie at her age ! fair play ! 😉
what tyres for riding up & down a double parked road ?
Aww cute little tyke on wittle pink bike.
Actually I don't care about women or anyone on bikes!
I have GF and don't drroll over women riders.
Did notice a lady roadie who was very fit-dunno why I noticed but she reminded me of my GF!
I ride my bike to ride not look at who, what and whom is riding as I'm going to fast for myself to think straight and crash.
Stoney- Brilliant! She's soooooooo cute, it's just silly! What a lovely image. That sums up how life should be, somehow. Don't ask me why. A reminder of why life is worth living. And why we mussunt give up, for the sake of all our futures.
I'm a tad concerned about the pavement parking, mind. I'd be having a word... 😯
Fixie with no brakes. Poser.
Stoney,
I guess your girls have to ride on the roads as the pavements are full of 4x4s

Stoney that little lady in your pic is riding a Hope Runner!
She could do with some gloves mind..

One gets used to it.

What, just stop breathing you mean? Are you tempted? And what does 'mussunt' mean, when I read stuff like that it makes me feel like a 20-stone bloke in pink Lycra has just walked past my front room window. Yuk.
Don't be so bitter and angry. I just meant, in a world where things may seem, at times, futile and full of despair, it's nice to see little ones just having fun, being happy, and having a love for life.
And that's why we shoon't give up on them.
Loving the pavement parking in Stoney's picture.
stoney, now that is niche, not even a drive train at all, respect! (don't show it to sheldona he'll only want one) 🙂
to the OP, get yourself on a STW organised ride, there were lovely ladies on my last one
[i]i certainly wouldn't want to feel like i was being viewed as a sex object[/i]
Wish I was!
i go riding with my girlfriend and all her female doctors. its an interesting time to say the least
Stoney, i just showed my wife that pic and she thought it was our daughter!
Very similar age, hair length/colour and we got her one of those pink adnams runners!
It seems we are living some kind of parellel life.
You must also be a handsome fella who is faster than all his mates 😀
There were loads of girls on bikes at Glentress today.

Well why didn't you just say that then?
Loads of female riders on our local trails. On a good weekend, probably a hundred or so. Still outnumbered by male riders though. A lot are on the family trails with youngsters but there's a good percentage of 'proper' ( 😉 ) MTBers too. Having said that, they're just other riders out enjoying themselves and we don't really take much notice of the male / female thing.

in that case they'd better stay indoors. A lot of men look at most women in this way. It's harmless provided they don't stare obviously, or drool or shout rude stuff.

this is a personal viewpoint. Parenthood itself is an expression of confidence in the future.
yus, I was a girl at Glentress! Saw quite a few other females too. Me thinks it's the nice weather
Lots of fit - in all senses - ladies were riding the Rutland sportive last Saturday. Usually see at least a couple of ladies when I'm roadie-ing in the Peak District.
To be fair, not many on mountain bikes.
yus, I was a girl at Glentress!
and [b]now[/b] ??
now I'm a girl no longer at Glentress. of course 😉
now I'm a girl no longer at Glentress
phew! those sex change ops are [b]SO[/b] messy darling...
Thanks for your nice comments regarding No4 child, "my little girl". Shes conqered 2 wheels a lot earlier than when the pics were taken. We tried her on a pedal bike with sableizers just to see if she could acually pedal...... she can!!! and she is only 28 months!!!!.
The parking is a bit of an issue though. We live @ the end of a dead end road and we are the oly ones who have 1 car!!!!
When I moved to Beijing, I started riding with the local 'foreign' MTB group. It consisted of 9 Chinese ladies, and 3 foreign men (including me)
And that was before my wife starting joining them as well...
captain_spaulding - MemberStoney, i just showed my husband that pic and he thought it was our daughter!
Very similar age, hair length/colour and we got her one of those pink adnams runners!

You must also be a handsome fella who is fruitier than all his mates [:D]
😕
I thought it was "civil partner"?
