Where are all the single mountain biking girls hiding?

I don't know about anyone else, but over the past couple of years I've been looking for a woman who can share my love of bikes, go riding etc, but I either find that they aren't into it at all and have no desire to be, or say they are but turn out to have ridden a bike once on a trip to centerparks.

Does anyone have any suggestions for where I can find a nice, mountain bikey girl who will understand why I spend a grand on a BOS Iydll fork rather than on rent, and who fully understands why everyone needs 6 bikes in their quiver?

If there are any single biker girls reading this in the south yorkshire area, then don't hesitate to get in touch!

All views and suggestions welcomed!

    If I got in with a girl who was in to MTBiking I would give up and take up stamp collecting. Jeez you want to get away from them not take them with you.

    Single girls do not exist - for the most part women move from man to man almost seamlessly - if your relationship breaks down it is generally because she saw someone she preferred and either dumped you or made herself enough of a pain in the a**e for you to dump her so she could go and cry on new fellas shoulder until he sticks his thingy in her whatsit. They are terrible creatures sent to torture and if one happens to ride a bike it would be more torture because she will either be bad at it thus causing you pain when she comes riding with you and straining the relationship or she will be better than you and laugh when you cant keep up. Either way bad things happen.

    If you must obtain a girl accept that pain will follow. Not always in a good way.

  • There is a joke in IT world, I hope I translate it correctly (I am not English native).

    Girls are like Internet domains - the ones you like are are already taken ;)

    Anyway, believe me, you don't want gf which ride bike.
    1. Riding with girl is like riding with child.
    1a You cant go to fast, because she is always slower then you.
    1b You need to stop every 5 minutes because (choose one or more): beautiful view, she need drink, she need eat, she need pee, she need check her hairs, phone is ringin', sms, facebook, something is wrong with her clothes, bla bla
    2. You want hang out with your dudes on bikes? No girls? Forget it. She will tell you "sure, you can go, no problem", but you need to know, this IS a problem. No sex for next month or any other repressions guaranteed ;)

    *sigh*

    Don't get me started on this... It's equally tricky (if not MORE difficult) as a single girlie who is already into mountain biking. I like bikes. I have lots of them. I work in the cycle industry. It's fair to say that my world is a teeny bit bike-obsessed :oops:

    The BIGGEST problem is that 99% of the blokes I talk to who say MTBing is a hobby REALLY mean that they have something that looks like a mountain bike and they ride it to the pub once a year. This is not my idea of mountain biking :?

    Oh, and I would prefer someone who is a better rider than me and that can keep up :D

    Any takers? No, thought not :lol::lol:

    I think you'll find there's a big difference between those who would like to take you up on that and those that can :wink:
