Pulled over to let an old (I'm talking my Grannies age) lady pass on some woodland Singletrack and she stopped for a pleasant chat. Well to do Cotswold lady in tweed, very polite. As I rode off she gave my buttocks a firm slap.
I was on my custom cx/monster/all road/gravelle btw.
Anyway, here's a pic from today pre violation

A game old bird then 🙂
i'd be chuffed
It takes all sorts.
Sexual Assault.
Best get it reported in case she's preying on other riders too.
what did you say to her to get a slap on the arse?????
Well to do Cotswold lady in tweed,
Did she have a pearl necklace?
Quick, write a column about your horrific ordeal in the Guardians opinion section.
She probably thought I needed a hand when she saw a drop bar bike with a 11-40t cassette.
Go get her number for me please, ta. 😉
Oh, wait.. she might be on Tumblr.....
That's what you get for going out wearing skimpy clothes 😉
It's weird how we can laugh about this but had it being an old man slapping a young ladies lycra clad arse there would probably be multiple pages of outrage by now!
I assume you're not involving the police anyway 😆
No my Guardian 'experience' piece is titled 'I nearly got eaten by a tiger in the wild'. And after today, pt2.

Do you think she was eyeing up your ring as well?
I mean your chainring, you dirty bugger.
It's a wonder she didn't have a stroke.

Chapeau Welsh farmer
Is your username an acronym for Tempting A Naughty Granny?
Was she fit?
It's all that beige. Like catnip to grannies.
MarkBrewer, have a think why there might be outrage if a man slapped a woman's arse when she was out riding her bike in the middle of nowhere. And stop trying to stir up trouble and pit the sexes against each other when there is no need to do so.
I'm going to file this under 'the dangers of self employment and the lunchtime raz'.

I don't see a difference.
Let's not forget man-man and lady-lady slapping.

I think someone has never had their arse slapped by oap and is feeling a bit left out 😆
Not trying to stir up anything I'm just pointing out that if it was the other way round it would be looked at totally differently when it's technically the same thing.
I don't see a difference.
Really?
I sincerely hope for your sake that you are being facetious.

I think you're missing pre and trans too.

Well, motive being equal, it's either acceptable to slap an arse or it's not. What gender the arse/hand belongs to is irrelevant.
Growing up with a side of the family that inhabit tweed, large country houses and public schools, they do slap everything from horses, dogs, children and probably staff.
Jokes aside I am open about the fact I was the victim of predatory abuse as a youth. Today's interactions felt more like the above.
I'll never forget lady-lady slapping.

Do you not think that was is important is the perception by the person slapped?
If they feel threatened by it (which it seems the OP did not) then it's a problem.
This is without addressing subject of the historical oppression of women by men.
Being a white middle class man, I don't get to decide what women are allowed to consider sexist, or minorities consider racist.
I can have an opinion on it, but I don't get to say that having my backside pinched is the same as me doing it to a woman - because that is obviously nonsense.
*Edit*
I think the thing here is that the intention *is* so often different (or feels different) when a man does it to a woman.
Si
Scc999 has put it much better than I ever could but, yes, this is exactly the point.
What also bugs me is that a funny story by the OP was used to have a bash a women when there really was no need.
And anyone who objects to this is immediately labelled overly politically correct.
Am I the only one to notice that he pulled over to let her pass him? DROPPED BY A GRANNY!!! 😉
Do you not think that was is important is the perception by the person slapped?
No. It's either acceptable in society to randomly slap an arse or it's not.

Don't think anyone is bashing women here, maybe just pointing out some hypocrisy.
So, if the OP was female and they hadn't objected to being slapped how many STWers would have been offended on her behalf...
😛
Also...
have a bash a women
Can't see that. Was a post removed or something...?
[quote=scc999 ]Do you not think that was is important is the perception by the person slapped?How does the slapper know in advance whether or not the slapee is going to object?
She might have been a bit frisky but calling her a slapper is a bit much
So who took the photo of you on a bike with ya arse over the back wheel? & why?
As a prison ossifer, am suspicious.
And we're off....
Whoosh...

Badoomtish!
Badoomtush.
Ooh. Get [s]her[/s] [s]him[/s] random non-gender specific entity
#assosexual.
As a sponsored person I am obligated to take a pic when I ride.
While I wasn't overly offended, I wouldn't advise arse slapping a stranger to anyone, even a 80 yo dotty lady.

Fnaaarr!! 😀 Suddenly I'm 15 again!
Have you looked to see what the sticker she slapped on your arse says yet?

That's not woman bashing? Well, yes it is. And seeing as you're having difficulty with this one, I'll explain why.
The poster is suggesting that a man would (as the OP did) laugh it off but a woman would have been outraged and caused a fuss.
As has previously been pointed out, it would have been different if a man had slapped a woman's arse.
If you're still having difficulty with it, ask yourself how you'd feel if a big butch man who could easily over power you slapped your arse when you were riding your bike in the middle of nowhere.

Erm ok I see it now, I get your point. It's ok for small weak men to slap big strong women on the arse in the middle of nowhere.
I'm not saying what is ok or what is not. I'm just suggesting that using a little empathy may help.
Not sure if your mind is completely closed, km79, or if it just doesn't work very well but I'm bored now so I'm off.
YOUNG MAN!!
km79: Stop being deliberately obtuse.

I'm not. I understand perfectly. When it comes to arse slapping strangers if the perpetrator is weaker than the victim it's funny and ok, however if the perpetrator is stronger than the victim, it's an outrage.
How does the slapper know in advance whether or not the slapee is going to object?
I carry a sign
And WTF was the OP thinking, rich old lady going in for a bit of slap and tickle in the Cotswolds. You was quids in there my son but you ****ing blew it.
Could have been a nice secluded cottage, Fiat 500 and the life of riley for you with a cheeky payoff in the impending will.
^^^ this. Op has missed out
I keep doing honc in anticipation
I've had similar, pulled up road bike on commute home at a junction, a car has come alongside and the 80-something lady in the passenger has made a comment along the lines of "not many of them to the pound" and started stroking my thigh!
We went to watch the Tour of Britain last year depart from racecourse near me, one of the lads i was with had a lady in her 40's literally start rubbing herself up against him and telling him how much she liked cyclists and shaved legs (not me!)
This was actually on part of 'Heaven of the South' route. One more reason to enter in a few weeks.
Little old ladies in Spanish bars have arms like Mr Tickle.
As habitual wearers of lycra we tend to forget the effect it can have on women who aren't accustomed to it. I sometimes notice the looks when we stop at cafes and I have also had a couple of "phwoars" sent in my direction. Walking up Preston station platform in full lycra with a bike was interesting; there were furtive glances from several women.
I went to see a middle-aged lady physio about a sore back some years ago and she somehow managed to pull my pants down and continue the back massage right down my bum while getting out of breath and red in the face. Should I have complained?
Is "obligated" a word?
tang's arse obvs takes some beating.
My missus went shopping in Cardiff last saturday whilst i was out riding.
When she got back, she took great delight in telling me that someone had patted her on the bum in a crowded street.
I said "thats assault" but she was quite happy about it, even flattered.
But then she is easy.

I see you've met my nan.
put it this way...you can now cancel your Tinder subscription 😆
