To the woman at the petrol station in Dumbarton

[Mad Doug Biker]

The lady in question has been in touch about your "offensive" and "mysogenistic" behaviour at the petrol station and asked me to pass this on:

"All too often, women are afraid to speak up about these small but significant approaches which happen every single day. In this instance, I was particularly taken back as the approach was made by a senior Cyclechat member.

Think twice before approaching another female cyclist (half your age) with such lascivious intentions"

I think all of us at CC can support that...

Aye right.

Some of us who do not normally go into 'Society, Culture and Politics' might not get that, but I happened to spot the inspiration for your post mentioned in 'Trending Threads' - LINK.

I'm also sure she would be flattered to be described as being 'half my age'.

Anyway, enough with all the romance stuff, can a man not simply talk to a woman about a bike without all you dirty pervs..... vaguely normal...... people....... Idiots..... Making it out to be more than what it was??

I think MDB keeps bumping this to keep it at the top..

It were @Tin Pot's fault with that message!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Mods, can we get this thread a sticky (for ever)? And perhaps create it's own section right at the top of the CC page?

Entitled

'The idiot's guide on how not to encourage people onto this forum'

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Seriously though, if anyone else posted similar on here, would it get so much stick??

So @Mad Doug Biker just say this lady were to appear on CC and say she was recommended this forum by a lovely man what would you say to that?

I will be amazed if she turns up now thanks to all you idiots!! Thanks!!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

There may be a number of petrol stations in Dumbarton......I'm sure that our potential new CC member won't know who we are talking about

I'm pretty sure she'll remember, besides, there can't be many people in Dumbarton riding old Dawes Mixtes

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

If you want us to stop, Doug, all you've got to do is say so

Yes, stop!!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Just re-read the original message, I get it now!

Did I detect a note of disapproval?

Mind you there is hope as she only objected to approaching "another" female cyclist

Says nothing about approaching the same one

I always tell people about this site, and then never see the said people again, so, much as I would like it, I would be crap.
