Can You Ride a Bike…. Like This?

  1. I’ve got a bike, you can ride it if you like
    It’s got a basket, a bell that rings
    And things to make it look good
    I’d give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it

  2. I have three bikes,one is a carbon fibre road bike which is way fast but don’t run over any bumps with it.
    So then i bought a carbon fibre off road bike that i could run over bumps with.
    Then i got nostalgic and decided to do a frame up build of my childhood 3 speed Strumey Archer grocery getter.
    All bikes are in tip top shape on display in my basement.
    I turned 70 and decided to stay off the road.

  3. I became friends by association with a girl in college that was absolutely smoking hot, she even had a calendar. After not much conversation I discovered she liked biking and at the time I was throwing down a few thousand miles a year on my mountain bike so it was a no brainer.

    I insisted she ride in front of me. Oh man, the view! (not the show).

    After having a few drinks at the bar with her I learned she only dated black dudes and I had zero chance. She instantly became unattractive and I got a chuckle turning her down for bike rides while my roommate accused me of being a moron and possibly gay.

    lol, there was no test. She was spotted with various mandingos in subsequent months/years. I’m talking lamp black. I didn’t totally ghost her, we were still talking after graduation, and glad I didn’t waste time on that fantasy.

    Soft spot for me. Before I met my current wife I was chasing after someone much like you describe. The late 70’s. My wife is my soul mate. I’m a lucky man. That doesn’t keep me from wondering WTF? She never did marry. And was a virgin when we finally hooked up. After all that talk. I didn’t get it then I sure as hell don’t get it now. What a waste.

  6. I liked the tan pants (obviously this bike never ridden outside, through mud and road grunge) and that she’s riding a boy’s bike frame.

    Too bad the progressives have all but done away with circuses. She could make a living doing this in front of really large crowds.

  7. O’Bumble’s bike ridin’ song, courtesy of Melanie:

    I ride my bike, I roller-skate, don’t drive no car
    Don’t go too fast, but I go pretty far
    For somebody who don’t drive
    I’ve been all around the world
    Some people say I’ve done alright for a girl
