Lady KBers - do you think you are more blokey in traits if you ride?

[Lissa]

For anyone that has a thing for boots they have to see that movie "kinky boots" (don't get put off by the title - tis not as bad as it sounds). After watching it the first thing you want to do is buy some boots. The film is based on the true story of a little shoe shop in conservative South Hampton,that used to make boring old mens brown loafers, the company got into trouble financially (surprise surprise) then the owner found a niche market.....boots....but not just ANY kinda boots - with special emphasis on the heels of these boots. It was filmed in real shoe factories and made the relationship between a boring old peice of leather, cotton, industrial sewing machine and the sewer look like an artistic masterpiece.

Sorry back on topic for me

Yea Ive seen that movie.. its great.

Ive only got 4 pairs of boots... I think I need some catching up.

[Reckless]

Sorry Reckless, but I think you may have slightly misunderstood the subject of this thread: it is about us girl riders in comparison to other more "stereotypical", average chicks... Not about the differences between the men and women riders.

And it doesn't give us any problem. If anything, we are very proud of being different from the average and embrace these differences as they make us more alive.

Ladies ...Feel free to correct me if I got this one wrong! I obviously do not pretend to speak for all of us.

Ye I get was just commenting that we are all the same. Glad to hear you gals are ok with us, as we feel you are a bit more like us than even some of our wives.

hehe yea you scrump up well hels!! Jealous I use to wear highheels, nice suits and things, now its more like jeans and a grubby dribbled top (from the kids!)

I had a question. Must be the right thread for it. Now its Winter.. and I have only riden in summer. How do you girls dress for riding. Ive brought thermals.. I wore two or them, plus two tops under my jacket and felt like the friggin Michelin Man... highly uncomfortable, and not sixy at all. Any ideas as to what to wear? What do you wear? ( I have to confess though I forgot to put my inner in the Jacket).

I ride to work every morning and its really cold. At the moment im wearing woolly gloves inside my bike gloves. A jumper under my leathers. and a windbreaker/rain jacket (not wearing the windbreaker pants just yet) I notice a huge difference as soon as I put my windbreaker on over my leathers. The difference between a freezing and a comfortable ride in

Hmmmm - Winter? When does that happen?

I've been here nearly 3 years and winter STILL hasn't arrived the seasons here are:

Autumn, Spring, Summer, Summer, Autumn, Spring, Summer, Summer....And the Summer ain't that hot so I wear the same all year round - T shirt and leather jacket with the thermal liner removed.
