To impress each other.

I know a guy that's pretty down to earth. He was standing around with his father-in-law, who I've heard is really down to earth. Anyway, a friend of his comes over to visit, riding and showing-off the newest whiz-bang dirt-bike, and wearing his protective gear and helmet. After he leaves, the father-in-law asks Tony if he's gonna get one. Tony says, "I can't afford that bike." Father-in-law says "Not the bike...the red Power Ranger suit."

Lots of photos with George W. Bush and his mountain biking - he holds an annual “Wounded Warrier” ride every year. He wears normal shorts, t-shirt and a helmet. When he first started them, after leaving office, folks said he could really tear up the trail. I’m guessing he still does okay.

I’ll give him this much: whatever his politics, Kerry at least does serious sports. You don’t dress like that if you’re a casual cyclist, and frivolous as it seems, windsurfing is not light exercise either.

Hey John ....how about a little windsurfing....Brandson style.

I’m guessing it’s a “closed course.” Po’ folks might have to contend with blackberry vines, bears, dogs, or opposing traffic.

but those legs and the posterior sure did remind me of a male physique.

No way, the legs and butt of a girl in great shape.

C&P’d this from my comment to another poster on this thread:

Sounds like you are not the “most people” that I was referring to. I just do my sissy girl, old lady cruising, in my semi-rural neighborhood.

Helmet makes sense for mountain biking and riding in automobile traffic. When I ride my bike, generally I do not expect to see more than 3 cars in an hour.
