Hey, Gorgeous

Toronto writer Micah Toub writes about “2 wheels = sex appeal” for his column in today’s Globe. He talks with Momentum Magazine‘s Amy Walker for the female perspective on dudes who bike.

To get an, ahem, unbiased opinion from a woman, I talked to Amy Walker, one of the founders of Momentum, a Vancouver-based magazine for “self-propelled people.” She agreed with me, though she began with a more relationship-oriented, poetic explanation.

“When you go on a date with someone in a car, you’re tied together and only one person is driving, so it’s a dominant and passive relationship,” she said. “When you’re both on a bike, you’re both in control. You’re two people who have free will and are governing themselves but choosing to ride together. I really like that metaphor.”

But then Amy goes on to say she admires the physical attributes of guys who bike. Look what’s it’s done for Cristiano Ronaldo, after all.

I’ve commented previously on how cycling makes you more attractive.
