Fixie girls

Hola!
i'm one of girls who ride fixie. 😉

Hola, i'm a fixie rider, and i'm a girl 😉

This thread oughta' be a hoot....I'm not a girl, I neither have, nor want, a fixie, but I do want to share something interesting that happened to me while on vacation in Florida a couple months back. I thought you gals might like this, and you can file it under "inspiration".

I'm riding my Bike_E recumbent down the beach at Ormond, FL, when I see this squirt-lookin' girl on one of those old-looking "wicked witch of the west" style bikes enter and proceed in front of me. As I passed by, she struck up a conversation about my unusual-looking bike. We went on like this a bit and she suddenly blurts out "Wanna' race to the next umbrella up there?" and I thought "Gotta' be kidding, right? How bad can it be?". I told her to "Go for it!". Mistake. That squirt was in shape! I couldn't get past her and she smoked me. Yep. Squirt chick on old-lady-style bike smokes a guy on a 21-speed recumbent on the beach. Hilarious. After thanking me for the race she turned around and rode off.

A couple hours later I'm on my way back up this same beach when i see her swerving up in front of me. She hops off her bike with a CAMERA! "I gotta' take your pic!" she says, as nobody will believe she beat a guy unless she has some kind of proof. At this point I'm thinkin' "Yeah, this is gonna' show up on FaceBook for sure....". I told her to go ahead and rub it in, as it was pretty funny. I told her I'm 56 yrs old and she says "Wow! I'm 54!!" Now she's nearly howlin' with laughter, right? I told her "It just ain't right....nope....not right at all...."

Sooo....when I got back home what did I do? Why, I posted it on facebook myself. After all, everyone needs something to laugh at these days, and I wish I'd gotten her pic while I was at it. She looked no older than 25!

Never undervalue or underestimate your ride and your capabilities with it, ladies. Ride on, and have fun at it!

Hey There Ima A FIxiie Fella????
