Creepy stalkers with bikes

By Yokota Fritz


Maybe I'm out of touch, but I picture creepy desperate stalkers in this article about hooking up with random women on bikes using the wildly popular Velib bike rental service in Paris, France.

Two-wheeled séducteurs prefer to hang around the Velib rental stations offering aid to neophyte women. “Always smile and be helpful when la demoiselle is lost in front of the electronic post,” one expert on the bike chat-up advised on the internet. “Ask her if she lives in the quartier. Suggest an outing and a drink at the café.”

Bicycling is a great tool for social interaction, but this Desperate Man's Guide to Picking Up Chicks seems a bit high in the "ewwww" factor.
