    ...and my wife told me twiddling a little one was just as effective... :oops:

    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    I had to tell my girlfriend never to play with the bottom bracket.

    :shock:

    I consider getting out on my bike as a bloody good method of escaping the old witch :D

    Damn I turn up late for any useful/humourous/smutty comments to be made, and they are my speciality as well.
    Oh well, chortled reading through it all anyway.

    Now to get a new bike (damn thieves!), and get a girlfriend who wants to cycle and has a bike too. Easy (or not) hehe.

    Stop her using the car, tell her it is unsafe or not insured for her......worked for me.

    I'm just going to throw this one out there for others to play with or leave alone as they see fit...

    Shallow as this might seem and this isn't even a facet of what I look for in a potential partner, but if your like me a 'young'in to the cycling world' wouldn't it be better to get a girl who doesn't cycle but is willing to give it a try? If your lucky enough to date a girl who is a seasoned veteran of the open road there's all the possibility that she will have bigger or stronger thighs than you (not necessarily an instantly bad thing), far more stamina and a higher pain threshold - this is where things start to go down hill - how would you and to what lengths would you go to to satisfy such an Amazon?

    Its the whole 'would you date a porn star? question. Whilst the immediate would be fun, what would be the point if anything that can be done has probably happened already and been far better than any performance you could possibly deliver?

    I'm not saying aim low, I'm just saying think about it.

    Interesting point there DonDaddyD, I would have to think about that and weigh up all the pro's and con's I suppose.
    But as they say "beggers can't be choosers" :/ ha ha ha (I must stop this self defacing, it isn't good I've been told by the voices in my head.)
