...You're out on a training ride Xmas day before dinner.

Yup, I know that one... The best part is the looks that you get from people in cars who are driving to relatives' houses to swap presents, and are amazed that a man is out on a mountain bike, wearing a crash hat and a camelbak...

...a pretty girl with golden skin and long legs rides past -- and you're squinting at the rear mech on her bike...

I've never seen a nice girl on a bike. And if I did I'd think she was odd. Any woman I've ever known would be too worried about their hair being messed up or nails getting chipped to get on a bike. Which is the way it should be.

Women on bikes tend to be crusty student lesbian types. And I've no interest in them thanks very much.

You need to go on holiday in Germany mate! I've seen women riding bikes in Erlangen that wouldn't look out of place on a cat walk. Thats why I keep a retrobike there

.......when you have 5 minutes before being picked up and your choice is to fill it looking at a bike, perhaps spin a wheel, cycle a shifter or compress a fork.......your mrs shouts 'where are you?'.....but really she knows the answer!.......

raises hand..... brother!

in fact everyone of these incidences i can claim to do. Another is a heightened eagle sense for cycle-related tat at the side of the road during "hard rubbish" collection days*

...When you have an oily chain mark from your derailleur on the ceiling of your car.

~And pedal/chainring scratches on the bumper where you pull the bike out or lean it against.
