Spotted...

Not sure if my quote thingy will work, but lets try again. Said holler was mine that interupted said mojo, many apologies. Though Sir TeeTee, that WAS a beautiful frame!!! So shiney and sparkily. And i did appreciate the interaction - i thought about it the whole way to work and felt bad that i had been so rude.

But that said process makes my point. I think boy-girl interactions shouldnt be frowned upon. BUT brutish behaviour should be discouraged.
If you ever have the chance to have someone pay you attention, it is a lovely thing and others should not be disapproving. Or spotted pretty girl on pretty bike (sorry pretty bike ridden by pretty girl). If its rude and derogatory - Annihilate them!!!

BTW - its a pleasure seeing another member even if we are yet to meet.

So it WAS you!

I think chatting to people at the lights is one of the pleasures of cycling. If I see someone on a bike I like I always tell them so. Partly because it's nice to receive compliments - I know I like it if anyone ever admires my bike - and partly because it explains why I'm staring at their legs. Admittedly, it also serves as an excuse to talk to pretty girls on pretty bikes, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

Anyway, yes, that girl's bike WAS beautiful. She caught me up at the next set of lights so we could have a bit more of a chat about it, but then she whizzed off into the morning traffic. I was left thinking about it for the rest of my journey too.

Don't worry Chainbreaker, I forgive you. Keep an eye out for me if you're ever lost round there again.
