I haven't scratched a match on the seat of my bloomers since I bought one of those new fangled petrol lighters........☺

...and don't ride over the cobbles!

No bloomers or loud hued leggings in sight.

"...and don't ride over the cobbles!"
Because you don't want to damage your cobblers?

[campbellking]

Definitely do not scream at cows.

fabulous - although more ladies than I thought must ride bikes judging by the number of 'bike faces' outside the co-op.

[1ozzy]

Can some kind soul post a link to a picture of a "bike face".

I'm not sure I've ever seen one, now, if it were "dyke face" I'd know.!!

[Old_Geezer]

As relevant today as it has ever been.

[Quoi]

'but the general consensus was that women who biked too much would develop a chronic look of exhaustion and strain'

You have to use your imagination ;0)

[aelmpvw]

bicyclist is a clumsy sounding word to my ears ...

[1ozzy]

Thanks Quoi, you have been a tremendous help edjumakating a dumb ozzy.

Toss in a comment then have nothing to back it up apart from "use your imagination".

[Khandro]

'Queen-bicycle Race'; those gals can ring my bell anytime.

[1ozzy]

Does that make you a "right ding-a-ling" Khandro?

[Khandro]

1ozzy; I wanted to avoid any reference to crossbars.
