^^^^^ Ooh snap good call...
I think it's the fact that it's a rarity to see a beautiful girl on a real nice bike that makes these "spots" seem mysoginistic or objective... So I guess it's a bit of a self perpetuating condition... Also this rarity causes fellows who see girls on bike to over-actively search them out as companions or partners as a love of cycling can be seen as a common ground- I know my girl's cycling is a definite plus for me, being able to ride around with your partner is genuinely a great thing to be able to share, so girls, don't be discouraged! Ride your bikes, and just like day-to-day life, ignore the creeps, take the compliments and enjoy that sh*t!
Pedal on!

basketball vest FTW!!
.
Haha basketball "vest..." how British of you!
Sorry I know this is a British forum and hence I'll
get no support here, but I had a chuckle...Yeah ball jerseys are the go for a hot summer, all that mesh is so breathable...
Tellya wot though the British get they tops off at a second's notice- back home we're like 46 degrees and still in t-shirts or singlets... Maybe it's the massive hole in the ozone layer scorching us all up...
Personally I don't think it's the best look unless you're at home or swimming...

I hope you are not directing 'hipster' at me!? I'll have you know i couldn't fit in skinny jeans if my life depended on it. I also only own sunglasses which are practical and not in a primary colour.
Calm down G it's pretty clear you're not a hipster... It wasn't directed at you so much as re-directing it from a brakeless me...

'Mumbles' is someone other than 'Mumbler'. ;)
NB not my picture! I merely saw it on flickr or somewhere. (I've already forgotten who took it. Poor form.)
- goes off to look *
Ok, so my colloquialism of your alias is thus invalid... Ok mumbleR, and yeah, I saw that flick somewhere else too but kinda just breezed past it, never took in it's merit til
it was pointed out... - goes off to look *

Bit too much stopping I agree but still, great night! I was way hyped on it! Looking back over the blinking lights riding through the parky area nearer the last couple bridges was great! Little floaty fairy lights weaving through the darkness... Also the posh old bag on the milennium bridge telling everyone off- good luck! Sprint section up to hammersmith bridge- yes please!
When are flicks going up?

I like footy, just not those who play it, cricket drags for me a little bit and I have a beautiful example of an Australian girl waiting for me at home; also i'm a bartender, and have drank myself into oblivion in the past, now it all seem like a bit of nonsense to me really; I'm happy just acting right and riding my bike...
I think, in this forum, we've found our answer- Australians are hated over here because of how they act as tourists- this (in some cases) in turn is a reaction to how the British act as tourists which is a reaction to how they're treated as tourists due to our long standing sporting rivalries, which, in many people's eyes, is all we have going for us. I think, in the full finality of it all, if both nations stopped acting like such cocks on eachother's shores and realised we're more the same than different we'd all get along better...
But as if that's going to happen, coz those damn poms can't get over the fact we're better than them =P

^^^^^^
So for anyone Reading this thread, know this- the posts balki highlighted are cheeky and generally facaetious, in the spirit of blind-arrogant nationalism, and as such are not to be taken as a true australian attitude. I'm well aware of the reputation CERTAIN of my
countrymen earn whilst abroad, and is no different from early-20s males and females of any nationality travelling/holidaying in countries other than their own. I however am not a member of this fraternity and here is my disclaimer/disownership of tha label, and I furthermore apologise to any of my countrymen who feel misrepresented by the comments I've made. -
Yo I was just getting lippy for fun brutha- I'm the furthest from a larriken Aussie as you'll find- I get arrogant and snippy for humour, but in reality the drunken Aussie fuckwit traveller (a la walkabout.eu.com) IS a disgrace to our fellows over here, As the sunburt raucus Poms over in Australia are a disgrace to the British. I'm here to visit my folks (working expatriot) and a brought my bike so I can ride around and see some of the country. Drinking is scarecly on the agenda, neither is the general get-ya-cock-out-wearing-the-flag-on-a-national-monument type behaviour.
It's an Internet forum- it's not meant to be taken seriously, and I truly believe that patriotism lies in taking the high road.
I don't own a footy jumper, I don't wanna talk cricket, I'm not out to "pull" and I'm far from a chauvanist. Don't worry mate, in the real world, outside a dim computer room, our country's reputation is safe with me.
Peace
Yeah the solar powered idiots- native habitat day festivals, often found sunburt, drunk and rowdy...
