Tamyka, if you were as smart as you think you are you would get into
recumbents and forget about uprights. But hey, you are a genius, so figure
out how to get comfy on an upright. Once you have got it figured out, you
will be ready for the grave. Trust me on this. There is no way a woman is
ever going to get comfy on an upright bicycle. Basically, our posteriors
(and indeed out whole bodies) were designed for seats, not saddles. Try to
wise up why don't you?

Most men are into being macho and are too stupid to know that it is possible
to ride a bicycle and to also be perfectly comfortable while doing so. Why
don't you get smart and get a recumbent and then come over to ARBR where you
will be appreciated. I have scared off most of the women here but I think
you show some promise as having a bit of guts and moxy.

You also need to forget about all that training ****. Don't you know that
men like women with nice feminine curves and do not care for athletic types
at all. And yes, you can be healthy without killing yourself with exercise.
Ride your bike for the pleasure of it. Any other reason is crazy.

I never said how smart I thought I was. I think that was Marty. All
three of my bikes are comfortable. However, I do prefer running.

As for those curves, you clearly didn't see those circus photos the
others did. As a general rule, all female cyclists are proud of their
curves. I will not bore you with millions of references as to why
exercise is not killing me. Finally, I do ride my bike because I enjoy
it. I do not participate in cycling races unless the government pays me
to. Sim for research.

As long as you are doing whatever you are doing in the realm of sport for
enjoyment you are OK. But I know so many women who become obsessed by a
sport that they seem to lose all perspective. Men are just stupid enough to
get taken in by all sorts of sports nonsense, but women should always have
more sense than to get bamboozled by cycling, running, swimming or whatever.
Moderation is the key to just about everything in life. But by and large, I
do not think much about racing of any kind. It is essentially a childish
thing and something that only a child should take any delight in.

The above are no doubt the words of somebody that never won anything.

I was several times in the winner's circle at various marble tournaments
back in the early 50's. In fact I went on to become the Minnesota state
champion one year. Marbles is tricky. It requires more skill than you might
imagine. I do not think kids play marbles anymore.

Is the 'Great' thing a hangover from those halcyon days in the dirt?

Oh Tamyka of the mighty T, cats cause some allergies. My apologies for my rude dipshit post. I am basically a very sick person and I am doomed to die despite all my lard ass physical exertions
at the keyboard. I need to be thinking about whether I want to be donated to science or cremated when I have my heart attack from obesity. I must forget all about life enhancement I am way beyond that.

I will always get a bit depressed as that is my true life situation. All the meaningless posts in the world won't save me. I will resign myself to death and oblivion.

My apologies.

Zipp 300 Carbon Cranks are the Fastest Cranks in the Known Uninverse. Only 397 grams with rings. These are the cranks that will make your bike fast but not as fast as a NoCom.

Warning if you are a fat slob or cheap ******* do not bother buying Zipp 300 Carbon Cranks. They are expensive, worth every penny and are reserved for the best of the best.

Hayes El Camino Disc Brakes Fastest disc brakes in the Universe

The El Camino features Power Adjust Dial, which modulates braking power by +/-10%. The Mono-Block caliper is forged using 6061-T6 aluminum while the open back design allows improved airflow across the pads. If you are a fat old ignorant white man from Minn do not buy these brakes. Nothing will stop your sorry ass when you need to stop.

The rotating banjo hose attachment offers optimal hose placement. Perfect for all the hose heads on A.R.B.R.
