British women prefer men who cycle

Nobody asked me...but yeah, I suppose I agree ;-) But really, only 7% of people asked found cycling kit attractive?! So do my opinions on the matter make me a freak...?

The question is do British women prefer British men who cycle?

If a man who is not from warmer European climes, does he stand a chance? :)

Possibly. Depends on the man in question ;-)

But upon the whole, it’s the Spaniards/Italians who catch my eye!

See I prefer the European Cyclists then the Aussie

But i think that has more to do with the Aussie male(sorry IMHO) then whether they can cycle or not…

And yes many Australian men have bad dress sense..

Maybe 93% of the people asked have seen Bluffy?

But i did giggle at my answer in my head to this

We’re not sure how many women we know would like to get hot and sweaty on a first date ride.

I wish this could be true about American woman...

Aww poor you. Move to Britain? ;-)

Apparently...though it would be a bit better if the women who liked cycling so much

liked lycra a little more than 7%

by Vlaanderen90 on Oct 7, 2009 8:45 AM EDT up reply actions

Some of us like lycra!

by Albertina on Oct 7, 2009 8:51 AM EDT up reply actions

I don't understand why they don't.. The PdC women do!!

Maybe they haven’t studied the Lycra males enough or Could be the coloured bibs.. hehe

Let's be a bit more specific

We like lycra when it looks good on someone. It’s like a bikini, size, age… Lycra on the wrong body is awful. Shallow… maybe, but knowing your limits is always a good idea ;)

British women prefer men who cycle

and vice versa (at least that’s my vote)

I'd been wondering

ever since I first saw the photo of Boris on the London Cycle thingy, just exactly who the women in the picture was. Now I feel quite pleased with myself for not recognising her. For you in the States, it’s the Brit equivalent of looking at a piccie of Paris Hilton and asking “who’s that?”
