    I tried riding a bike for a while but found that it's suicidal to attempt here. The roads are narrow, the siding tend to be rocky ditches or cactuses, and the drivers are lunatics. It's safer to walk blindfolded and drunk in the middle of the street...

    Will Rogers never met me.

      Bullhead City, AZ, USA, Rajesh. Here we rank a woman a 9 if she has three kids, three tatoos, and three teeth; if she has a car, she's a 10 and you'd better marry her before she gets away. The only reason it's safer to walk in the middle of the street is that the drivers are so drunk that's the only place they'll never be found. And lest anyone think that I'm picking on the local women, there are three questions a woman here should ask a man before dating him: 1. Do you have a job? 2. Do you have a car? 3. Do you live in it?

          Are you saying you live in your car? (Sorry, below the belt, I know, but couldn't resist.)

                Thats what mountain biking is made for. Riding trails where no car can harm you.

                      I believe mountain bike movement is mostly enjoyed by young women riding over cobbles.

                      Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                        Oh yes. I'm forever riding up and down the mountains in the Netherlands.

                              Does it need to be an actual road, or would an over glorified driveway suffice?

                                    I assume the answers she needs to hear is: yes, yes, no which ironically are also the answers to these questions asked at the end of the date: 1st base? 2nd base? home run?
