So, like, can you help me pump up my tyres, baby?

Hmm. I'm usually to sweaty to want to stop and chat to any ladies.

That and I think you have a lady ;-)

So she's saying women should pretend to be clueless so to flatter the "cute guy's" ego? Welcome to 1909.

That article hasn't even been proof read.

Assuming I actually wanted to pull blokes...

A woman should try letting some air out of her tire--and thereby give a male biker who might happen to pass her by an opportunity to be a kinght in shining armor."
So I'm just going to ride around and risk puncturing on the off-chance that someone will take pity on me? And WTF is a kinght anyway?

I can tell you from my own experience that I love men who offer to help me in any way with my bike
I sodding don't. They give me the right fucking hump.

I do all my own maintenance and I build my own wheels. If, as has happened in the past, some know-it-all twit comes and tries to take the spanner out of my hands when I get a mechanical, I'll be very tempted to ram it up his patronising arse without benefit of so much as a squirt of WD40.

Crap article, crap attitude, crap magazine. I'll stick to Bizarre when I want a little glossy light reading.

'If nothing else, say to a woman, "Wow! Biking must be a great work-out because your legs are sure looking super-fine!" and I can guarantee she'll be pleased.'

Just trips off the tongue, that one.

I don't know whether to rep you for making me quite literally "laugh out loud" or neg-rep you for reading marie claire.
Regardless, it's bloody funny.

That and I think you have a lady ;-)

Yep, that too.

YouTube - Women know your limits.

I often offer help to male cyclists if they look like they need help. Does this mean I swing both ways?

tries to think of a joke involving lube

Yeah I dont think its that bad. If I see someone having issues I always ask if they need help cause I usually ride around like a chump with a bandoleer of tools in my bag and hope someone would do the same for me if I was without tools.

it just means your curious.

sorry if i missed something.

Judging by the thread title, I was expecting some sort of emoxfag rom-com anecdote.

I love the bit about men loving to be told that they are really fast on their bikes, I mean, that is true but blokes also like it when people tell them they're really fast eaters so I'm dubious of that supposed insight!

i like to be told i have been a very naughty boy.

**And guys: I can tell you from my own experience that I love men who offer to help me in any way with my bike. **For instance, I was once out on the sidewalk trying, and failing, to put air in my tires with my mini-pump when a bike messenger noticed my concern and came over to do it for me. This was probably seven years ago, and I still remember his name: Oliver.

That was me.

Awesome article. I'm set for summer!

Isn't that Emily's chat-up line? ;]

When you...see someone cute unliking his or her bike near you

"Damn you bike! I hate you so much today!"

im glad i read that, now i wont appear like a total kinght when chatting up the laydees.

Is this how you met Selim Nhat?

horrible

Unless the guy does time trials, in which case he already knows.

Apparently someone did try this with me once. Apparently the answer of "Well, not really, people like Basso and Leipheimer are proper fast" was not the one she was looking for.
