Chicks on Chicks:

so far it sounds like its the males who dont ride that are making the most assumptions.........thats an easy one to figure out...............some girls have bigger balls (tecnically speaking)and these blokes cant handle it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Joni** · 18th September 2006, 09:01

I have never been in that situation myself... strange huh!

However what I found is people presume that because you ride a bike that automatically means you are "rough", a petrol head.... cant be feminine, you have to be butch... :spudwhat:

And I agree about what was said... its men who dont ride that have the issues, they dont have the balls to do something, and then they see a woman doing it and thier little egos cant handle it... thats why they have stupid comments to make.

I'm sure that some chicks on bikes do and thats totally fine by me, its just that the stereotype seems to follow me! im far from butch or anything!

To answer the original question - yes, there are some on here that are gay, some that are Bi, and some that aren't... no big deal. Likewise the guys.

It's interesting the stereo type is there, and I'm glad it's not 100% accurate... there's very few things as sexy (to me) as a woman riding a bike. Having met and spoken at length with a number of women on here, there are only one or two I don't really see eye to eye with, and the general attitude of being a motorcyclist shines through stronger than them being anything else.

Assumptions of anyones sexual preference based on their involvement in anything is stupid. Really really stupid.

MDU over and under

I've never given a flying f what people think about me riding bikes - been doing so since 15 and more often than not I have been the rider and my pillion is a male. An older gentleman did say to me once "it's not very feminine Shirl". Kids are great - they are usually in awe and will ask lots of questions first about the bike then you inevitably get "are you married" No. "Wouldn't your husband let you have a bike!!". I took a teenager to school on my bike - he just thought it was the bees knees but then proceeded to tell them I was his mother.
Otherwise comments have all been positive - and many woman have said I'd love to ride a bike - I say go for it "you are never too old".
A group of guys once invited me to ride with them, and one of them thought he'd drag me off!! Ha creamed him totally which was not a good look, then he proceeded to lie about it!! Well the trip was just beginning. My rule has always been you don't pass the leader. I was hard pushed not to and I was taking it easy cos my tyres were a bit shonky and I did not have full protection clothing on. They made sarcastic comments such as -= gee you must have been really riding hard - cos I open mouth and foot falls out telling them why I was taking it so slowly. They never asked me to ride with them again. Have always ridden on my own. Go on my first KB trip and what do I do - bin the bike - first road accident!
One will never have glamorous hair with a helmet. Great excuse really. No-one would ever know that I hadn't brushed my hair! lol
I ride cos it's in my blood - I love it and I'm really doing it hard without a bike at present and all this good weather we are having.

Oh and I've never heard of such a stereotype before. :S

**placidfemme** · 18th September 2006, 10:25

haha don't know if I should even comment on this... cause I am gay

Screw what people think of you and what they say, if your on your bike and your having fun... fuck them!

Or you could just be a smart ass and say "I'm not a lesbian... but my girlfriend is"

*thinks chicks who ride bikes are hot*
