924.0. "what a way to start the new year" by TINCUP::KOLBE (The dilettante debutante) Tue Jan 02 1990 17:23

    People always warned me about being careful what you wish for, but
    did I listen? Nooooooooooooo. All I wanted was to meet some men, and
    I did. The entire US Olympic cycling team. I'm getting too old for
    these healthly, physically perfect boys. The experience left me with
    two cracked ribs and a 4 hour visit to the emergency room.

    Oh, did I forget to mention that I was riding Miss Taffy at the
    time. We met them on the road. I was between them and an embankment
    that went up 5 feet and was topped with a barbed wire fence. They
    got about halfway past (there were at least 50 of them) and Miss T
    just freaked out. She tried to climb the embankment sideways and
    lost her balence. I fell off and under. I felt her hind feet land on
    me 1,2,3,4 times and I knew the ribs were gonna hurt. I was mostly
    afraid she was going to fall on me. To give her credit she tried not
    to keep stomping me. If she had let her full weight (a swelt 1200
    pounds) land on me I would have been history. We also nearly had a
    major bicycle jam as the guys in front stopped and the guys in back
    didn't realise it. Lord, what an experience.

    As for the cyclists, sigh...they didn't even ask for my number.

    Liesl, what a horrendous experience!  I'm glad you didn't get hurt
    worse.  But, surely, under different circumstances you don't feel
    too old for "healthy physically perfect boys." :-)  (if they're
    at least over 16!)

    RE: Lorna, well, I suppose I could handle a few younger gentlemen, I
    am afterall, in the prime of life, but 50???? ;*)

    RE: -1, Miss T was fine after running back to the barn at full
    speed. I even got back on a rode for a bit till it became too
    painfull. But hey, now I've got codine and feel fine (as long as I
    don't make any sudden movements).

.5>	Cyclists have such great ... thighs.  Purr.


    Want to pump up your thigh muscles -- and your libido? Sixty-six
    percent of bikers surveyed by Bicycling Magazine said cycling makes
    them better lovers; 81 percent reported that their sexual vigor
    increased with fitness; 84 percent revealed that they think about
    lovemaking while pedaling; and a brazen 14 percent claimed to have had
    sex during a rest stop.

    I think the responses to the poll were a put-on.

  I'll bet the answers were put-ons --

  Actually, there's a very definite disease syndrome associated with
  male cyclists who spend too much time riding saddles that are too
  hard.  It has to do with smashed motor nerves.  Details on request.

924.9From Count PointercountHANDY::MALLETTBarking Spider IndustriesWed Jan 03 1990 19:2610
    I guess I'd take those bets.  The answers are not unlike those
    given by people who pursue other aerobic exercises such as
    running.  A large majority of them indicate that their sex
    lives are improved by regular aerobic workouts.
    
    Now if n% had said they'd actually gotten it on *while* cycling,
    I'd begin to wonder.

    Re .9, Steve, reminds me of a stupid X rated movie I saw once where
    a woman was riding a bike.  She was having a *very* *good* time
    - just her and the bike! :-)

	Is this the same survey that said 6% of cyclists think about
riding while having sex???

BTB - I may have seen that in a newspaper quoting a magazine, I'm not sure.
924.16same surveyNOVA::FISHERPat PendingFri Jan 05 1990 13:328
    to .15.  It's the same survey.  I read the survey the second night
    of Boston-Montreal-Boston with 400 miles back and 350 to go.  The
    last thing I could think of then, at that moment, was s-e-x for some
    strange reason.  (The first things were food and sleep.)
    
    Fortunately that was only a temporary affliction.  :-)

    Cycling sure improves my end of things.
    
    And I believe that 84% of cyclists think about sex while they're
    riding.  You've got to think about something and sex is more fun
    than wondering when you're going to clean the basement!

924.18Stop all this giggling and whisperingOXNARD::HAYNESCharles HaynesSun Jan 07 1990 05:377
    A (relatively) well known side effect of bicycling on males is to cause
    them to take longer to orgasm. This is due to numbness in the SENSORY
    nerves caused by the pressure of the saddle. It takes a considerable amount
    of bicycling to cause the problem/effect, a turn around the block won't do
    it.

    Well I know what I think about when walking 6 miles every morning (^'
    And I run up the 2 flights of stairs to my front door at the end (^'
    
    But, back to the rathole, I see a lot of cyclists on that walk, and I
    have to tell you, they have calves and thighs like no other.  There
    are also very steep 9 hills and I always have at least one pass me there.
    
    And I wonder why I keep getting faster.  Haven't used my walkman in
    weeks (^'

924.20surveys anyone?SQLRUS::FISHERPat PendingMon Jan 08 1990 14:0214
    Numerous magazines, newspapers, and radio stations have excerpted
    parts of the survey article in order to add their own commentary,
    titters and giggles.  If anyone is interested in reading the entire
    article (or just having it for reference?) send me mail and I will
    send a copy of the article.  I think it's 6 pages long, includes
    the results of the survey and a pair of sidebar articles concerning
    how cyclings affects men and women.
    
    I must admit that, after cycling nearly a 1000 hours a year, for
    several years, I have on more than one occasion thought about sex
    while riding or riding while ... .  I might even have done a few other
    things too but I'll save them for my memoirs, if you don't mind.

    I used to cycle quite a bit during the years I was without horses. I
    must admit that sex crossed my mind a few times as I rode. It also
    happens on horseback but that seems so Freudian!! Come to think of
    it, sex is on my mind when I walk too, and sometimes when I read and
    maybe at work and possibly at school and...;*) liesl
