Do You Gawp?
Do You Gawp?
I can quite happily walk past what some people would term a "nice" (flash?) car, paying it no attention whatsoever, but I will stop and ogle a bicycle I like the look of.
Is it just me that likes not only the functionality of a bicycle, but the form as well?
I can admire a filthy workaday bike as much as a pristine example as long as it "looks" right.
Am I completely bonkers?

I went past a red Farrari yesterday but when I got up to it it it said "For sale replica Farrari 3 million brake horse bla bla built from Toyota pram or whatever"
Whats the point
Eventually you have to admit "well actually dear its only a replica"
If you can't own the real thing don't bother. I'd rather own a class cycle than a fake car any day.

Okay, I confess I look at the odd bike too, but Mick you have to get this in perspective, shoes, handbags, then bikes!

Ah, the the important things,the female perspective. Wearing shoes whilst carrying a handbag looking at a bike leaning on the window of a shoe and handbag shop and looking at the handbags and shoes first,then looking at the bike.I realise one has to keep things in perspective MrsT, from the female perspective as it were.
