That's pretty funny.  Cyclists' tastes are a bit outside the mainstream, aren't they?

I like to tell a story about meeting and chatting with two women I met near the Malvern Hill Civil War battle site just east of Richmond, Virginia, several years ago.  They were traveling down the east coast, while I was turning west on the Transamerica Trail.

One had a Waterford touring bike, bran'spankin'new, green and shiny.  The other had a vintage Miyata 1000, which Sheldon "Knows His Stuff" Brown said was the best stock touring bike ever made.  I was riding its little brother, the Miyata 615GT, which is now my fixed gear commuter.

We had a chat, and y'know what?  They were just flippin' gorgeous!  I mean it, I was -drooling- just looking at the pair of them!

And the women were nice looking, too.
