[Closed] Stop! come back!

You should have done your shorts up first 😀

I can see the local paper headline

'CYCLIST PERVERT ATTEMPTS TO LURE WOMEN WITH UNLIKELY TALES'

This is why I never ever go cycling naked.

popped out of the woods

Euphemism?

Or is this thread your cover story? 😉

Well lets just say I think they will set have a personal best today judging by the speed they sprinted off. I tried to shout after them but the more I talked the worse it got so I just shut up.

Never involve pedestrians in our sport

A long time ago I asked someone on foot if they minded taking a picture of me on some gnar-tastic drop and they just said no and carried on walking, sharpish like

What a strange thing to do. Do you have a beard perchance?

I only asked them to hold my helmet...
No honestly ffs I was looking and behaving totally normal(debateable), but looking back I can see it does look an unlikely proposition.

Or is this thread your cover story?

"want to watch me nail it?"

Probably looked a bit red faced and sweaty...
Scuse me ladies.. Can you just pop into the bushes with me?
I'll take it slowly and have a nice big helmet.. It really won't take long..

So when you fall off and knock yourself unconscious they are then expected to call an ambulance and wait with you until it turns up?

I can't imagine why they weren't totally desperate to stay and watch.

Did your dropper inadvertently spring up?

To be honest, even not being female, if I was out running in my local woods and someone asked me that I'd run off sharpish.

"'cuse me mate, I'm about to try something I don't feel confident won't leave me in a bloodied heap to die slowly on my own. Mind watching me do it in case I impale myself? Is your 1st aid up to date?"

Obviously if I came across someone injured I'd help no question.

I wonder what your photofit will look like.

When you popped out of the woods to make your request, please tell me skidded to a stop in front of them while pulling your cool face. And opened with "ladies".

Last few tues night rides where we've been trying stuff "I don't feel confident won't leave me in a bloodied heap" walkers have been stopping to watch, shooing them out of the way to dispel the added pressure has been the problem.

but I guess it's the difference in being asked by a sweaty faced bloke in the woods to come and watch him. I can see how it could be misconstrued.

Lucky you were on your bike or they may have hoofed you in the nads before taking flight.

Sadly not. I probably should have opened with 'Would you mind just watching in case I crash on this bit' which would have explained it all succinctly and avoided any misunderstandings.
Instead, for some god-awful reason I hesitated and said 'Excuse me, would you mind if I borrow you for a minute' intending to follow it up with a more thorough explanation but the look on their faces after this threw me into a bit of a panic and I started rambling.

I've always wanted 2 ladies to watch me have a jump too. Never happened.

Did you say you were desperate to nail something with your 8 inch gnarpoon?

I'd have set a PB too.

OP, you've made two fundamental errors
1. Doing this in the first place
2. Posting it on STW

as you were. I wish you luck 🙂

I sympathise; recently I stopped and wound down my NS window to ask directions from a young woman walking along the pavement and she ignored me, leaving me feeling like a dickhead.

how did you phrase the question.

"would you wait there while I try pull this off?"

Hey girls ! Watch THIS ! ...."

Strava Flyby.

Then just pop round their houses to explain yourself.

I can't think how that could go wrong at all.
