Bike clubs around here are dangerous and have reps for blowing intersections in heavily populated areas. Many have gotten seriously hurt. Man have gotten cited by local authorities. Not my idea of fun.

As far as women swooning over my legs, please read the OP again and try to comprehend the message. I never said it was women only, I never said anybody swoons over my legs. Your imagination is running wild. My point is that if you mention cycling, many people look down at your legs as if they can gauge whether or not that you cycle. I never said club riders could not keep up. You have quite the imagination.

BTW, according to a poster above, cycling club members have pot bellies so why would I want to stop in the middle of a club ride for coffee and snacks?

If you'll notice, this is the "new, improved" Bike Forums. No one owns any bikes.

Boy am I relieved. I thought you had to sell ALL your bikes to buy that new Lynskey thing. Regarding the new site, I read about the improvements and I'm sure some will find them useful... but considering it's a major revamp, I'm not impressed.

On the odd occasion, yes .

But I always wonder if they're checking out my legs or wondering what a Muppet I look like in lycra.

It happens. I once joined a running club (xc). At the time I was pretty heavy into lifting weights and cycling. They looked me up and down and I heard a few whisper, “sprinter”.

We try to avoid them when the doctor prescribes our meds.

ok. Here’s a more natural perspective of her. Like I said, the orig photo was probably photoshopped or at least just vertically squashed.

Steroids tend to bulk up more than just one muscle group.

and there’s no reason to be rude.

I have turkey legs, but as soon as I tell them I'm a yacht racer they look at my wallet and their pupils dilate.
