I don't think any of the links so far would do it for her either 🙂 might show her the cipollini bond film tho, just to checkYour wife is clearly missing something.
MTG good work!
OK, attractive women aside (where the cycling bit is largely irrelevant), I'm going to put this to bed with a comment I seem to recall from Bike Snob NYC.... any time you start thinking that you look cool in all your biking kit, try riding past a high school at the end of the day, you will feel like a douche.
I concur, as a roadie, no women ever looks at me sideways when in full lycra - go out on the bike in a pair of jeans and a hoodie and I might get the occasional glance as then I'm 'normal'.
I think the road look is generally sexier than off road (but then I'm happier spending more cash on road apparel as it doesn't get trashed like mtb kit.) Rad off road biking skills do not impress anyone other than bikers.
Reckon the cyclist look is considered more sexy in some parts of Europe, mostly down to the popularity of the sport and coverage in the media.
MTG, I'm sure I've seen that lycra clad view a couple of times in years gone by, though I'm still with Mrs Blobby so it can't have been that potent a sight 🙂

you telling me the Danny Mac video was only watched by Cyclists then as no one else was impressed?

I was really talking about the rad biking skills that the majority of us on here might display 🙂 I still think the majority of non bikes would just be mildly impressed and quickly get bored of it.
TBH I think if I did a flare off a tree my mrs would still say "and...? Are you gonna move that bike out of the hallway now or what?"you telling me the Danny Mac video was only watched by Cyclists then as no one else was impressed?

This is the best thread since James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny in 1767

I jumped down some steps - about 6 ish so at a guess about 3-4 foot and she was moderately impressed - Not DONKS wife nothing pleases her 😉 *
She was not that impressed when I di a 5 foot drop of a wall ...not even when i said my forks were still locked 🙄
She is impressed when i ride up hills she pushes up though , that will be most hills **
* that is twice now i have mocked her she does not read it does she?
** I am fairly sure mine does not read this if she wees in my shoes I will take it that you dod read this 😉
Ps at least she lets you keep the others she is a pretty good in that respect and you know you are lucky
in case she does read it i will be nice as well
I went with the bike on the train once to go up to Scotland, the good lady commuters at Preston station had obviously never seen a guy with good legs and great glutes because the number of shifty appraising glances I caught was almost embarrassing. So yes, sexy if you're in the mood.

Well I've certainly got appreciative comments from teenage girls when cycling. Even the comments from teenage boys have been mostly non-rude. Maybe you're just doing the wrong type of cycling?
so unicycling is cool then 😉
Teenage girls certainly seem to think so, JY. Surely they are the ultimate arbiters?
Thats deadlydarcy?
😆 Doh! Now that image just should not be allowed!
I have to agree aracer I cut through one of the local parks on my daily commute and this evening 2 were sat on benches one spotted me said something to the other and she actually looked up from her mobile phone and gave me a pleasant look 😉
Maybe it's just the sight of bare legs, I was wearing baggies as well? 😀
Good job I did not take the shades off she would have realised I was old enough to be her dad 😀
