My neighborhood is full of cyclists with exposed flesh as well, many quite distracting (which is a 'feature' not a 'problem'). Yes, agreed. Unfortunately I mainly see such delicious distractions when I'm in my truck or looking out the window of my house. When I'm out cycling, it's ugly toads like myself that I mostly encounter. TFM® |

The officer had no official business with her. I call it harassment. If miniskirt riding is out, then all pillion riding girlfriends may not wear skirts. -- Michael Press |

If they are smart, pillion riding girlfriends are wearing full pants and a jacket of tear-resistant leather or fabric, with knee, hip, elbow and shoulder armor inserts, calf to knee high boots with straps that retain the boots on the feet, gloves with armor inserts, and a full face *motorcycle* helmet. Saw two squids today wearing shorts, tank tops, and flip-flops, but nothing on their heads riding liter-class bikes. I will feel no pity if they end up spending weeks in rehab getting skin grafts and other reconstructive surgery. Of course, about 98% of the people on liter-class bikes (or even worse, a Hayabusa or ZX-14) have no business riding them. -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731°N, 83.985007°W I am a vehicular cyclist. |

Thanks for that! Just for Hank: Note that Ms. Rijcken is *not* wearing a foam bicycle hat. Who determines what it is to "cycle properly", and who cares what that twit thinks. "Where is fancy bread. In the heart? Or in the head." |

Some flattrack bikes used to be configured with a solo saddle behind the tank for cornering, and a *little* pad (pillion?)on the rear fender to set your butt on when tucking down on the straightaway. As for girlfriends on the back, the main thing is that they hang on in case of unexpected wheelie. |

My neighborhood is full of cyclists with exposed flesh as well, many quite distracting (which is a 'feature' not a 'problem'). Exactly. In the Netherlands we have what we call 'rokjesdag'. That is the first really nice day in spring where all the girls, the young ones first, put on their skirts (rokjes) to get a sun tan on their still winter white legs. Everyone is looking forward to that day, the law enforcement included. Lou |
