Bikes fall in love on Craigslist

According to a Craigslist Missed Connections post, two bikes on I-35 fell in love. But love at 55 miles per hour can't last, can it? (Lots of [sic] in the following.)

Today my big green bike seems to have fallen in love with your little

red bike. I know, I was as surprised as anyone to learn that my bike is

lesbian. But, it seems that she likes smaller, well built bikes and it

was all I could do keep her from looking overly eager. (I hear that is

bad.) We were headed to work on I-35 South, when you caught up to us

and passed on the inside. Thinking back on it, your bike may have been

flirting with mine the way she signaled like that and then cut back

into the outside lane just one car ahead of us.





Imagine my surprise when my bike gunned it out and around that car

only to slide in behind the two of you. Not that I minded though,

'cause I could see why she wanted to be back there looking at your

curves....I mean at your bike's curves. It was difficult to hold her back

as she has A LOT of power and just wanted to blast up next to you, but

I had to remind her it was rude to just invade a stranger's space.



Unfortunately, she did let out a few frustrated, loud, rumbling

growls as she downshifted because traffic was all around us and we

could not pull alongside to express our undying love...uhm...to say 'Hi'. I

compliment how smoothly your bike moved and responded as your finely

denimed legs guided her through traffic. (.....ahem)



I really hope you won't hold my appearance against my bike. I know

I tend to look like a geek with my dress khakis and button up shirt,

but I was going to work. (Your aerodynamic white shirt was a good

choice though as it let the wind flow smoothly around your body.) Just

'cause you have a black helmet and I a white one...doesn't mean we should

keep our bikes apart. We all had to part ways in the shadows of Bartle

Hall as you went West and I South. However, our bikes should get to

ride together again and I hope you will find it in your heart to let us

know the next time the two of you will be out.

Please, green and red bikes, if you do reconnect, buzz by 1701 Main so we can see the lovely couple!
