I did the unthinkable.....

I have this problem, too, and my bell only makes it worse. Instead of keeping them out of my path, it seems to attract them, like some kind of mating call.

Anyone, please help!

Are you sure it's not the bike they're attracted to?

Thanks for bursting my bubble, dude. Guess I should've known from the last time this happened to me.

Bought a snazzy black roadster in 2003. Shortly thereafter, an errand took me by the Denver University campus. When a car with 4 coeds pulled up at a light, I saw them smiling and pointing my way. So I smiled back.

At which point, the nearest girl rolled down her window and said with the sweetest smile, "Not you, the car."

He's never pedalling, he's sitting on a couch, and protects himself from the elements with a motorcycle windshield

This my new ride,..
No windshield.

I've got a ¾" thick Gel Seat cover on top of a Selle Royal spring seat mounted on a Suntour NCX suspension seat post, and that's all mounted to a full suspension e-bike.

I've got a pretty cushy ride.

Actually, he should be wearing leather I hope he's wearing a motorcycle helmet!

I always wear full length jeans, a jean jacket, gloves, hiking boots, a DOT helmet with a mirror attached, and goggles.

It was 31°C today with a humidex of 42°C, but I still wore all my gear.
I ride no-hands for more than ¾'s of my ride, so there's a reasonably good chance that I'm going to be sliding down the gravel road on my butt, so I want the be reasonably protected from road rash.

Did you reply " not you, the boy" ( or at least, the cute one)
