Beginners Luck??

lexiekay

Inspired with confidence from my previous post, I persuaded two friends to come out for a ride one evening last week. We set off, spirits soaring because of the lovely sunshine (hurrah its spring!) down the local disused railway track. My friends seemed to be enjoying themselves, and it was great to have some mates to ride with. But within 10 minutes of setting out, we had an 'encounter' with a man who flashed us! Initial shock gave way to mild hysteria.... I couldnt believe it - does this sort of thing happen often to girls on bike rides??

perhaps it's an initiation thing.

welcome to the twisted world of mountain biking

fug?

ok i'm a guy but i've never seen anyone who would flash. was he wearing the traditional trenchcoat? i really hope you don't have to experience it again! i take it you're not thinking of getting the police involved?

Was he just letting you pull out at a junction?

What your supposed to wear clothes?! No wonder people have been looking at me funny.

lexiekay

well we're off out again tonight, so if it happens again i'll let you know!
could just be the local weirdo - there's a lot of them about round here (swindon if you were wondering!)
bikeperson45 and GK141054 - say hello next time
And no he wasnt wearing a trenchcoat, just a normal jacket which he whipped open at the crucial moment, and some unzipped trousers!

Be prepared for tonights ride. Grab the mini pump, extend to maximum length, and take a good swing! Either that or take a bungee and *ping* him!

lexiekay

sounds like a plan....
any other anti flasher tips welcome!

you could train a pony to bite off his wiener...

then kill his parents and feed them to him and have radiohead laugh at him for being a little girl...

Okay, the first part is kind of normal humour. I think the second part gets you a special "Do not pass go, do not collect £200, go directly to the Psychologist" ticket!

see

it's a reference to one of the best south park episodes...

schmako

Definately the best episode! Although the new one where Cartman gives Kyle Aids is hilarious too.

Okay, sorry I missed the South Park reference, didn't really watch a lot of it. However, the special "Do not pass go, do not collect £200, go directly to the Psychologist" ticket still stands, it just has a different name on it!

lexiekay

anyone know where i can get a pony to train?

Hmmm, there are few wandering round south wales, in fact i sometimes see them walking up my street.....
