And their eyes get really big when they cut a blind curve and you're right there to see it.
This is as far as MTB's are concerned.

On the road, unless it’s a closed corse, if you cross the centerline you’re an ass.
I think that was at Ironman MD.
Chick I was dating gave me shit for bringing my bike in the room so I put it on the bed and told her she had to sleep on the couch.
We didn't last long.
My smokin hot (cyclist) wife understands.
I hear that. I raced in college and then afterwards for about 10yrs, I set those expectations early with the college GF ( now wife)
Think I’ve got my road, XC, and single speed XC on the living room floor.
Hell no...not a weight weenie over here, 
The two on the left are kinda porkie, around 28 lbs. The Single Speed (orange one) is lighter, maybe 24?

I grew in Chicago so spent many a weekend and summer riding single track in the woods of MI and WI. Road competitively in College and stuck with the skinny tires ever since.
I've kinda been looking at gravel bikes, off and on. There are so many idiots on their cell phones that it scares me to ride on the pavement around here.
Based on last year's usage though, I should sell ALL my bikes. I barely rode at all.
Here's the latest build.
Torker graduate steel frame, 32 spoke wheelset, 9 sp Ultegra drivetrain with triple rings for the mountains, I have a 3 watt Shimano dynamo hub sitting in the box to charge electronics. Have to order spokes and rebuild the wheel.
Shakedown ride and camp was 3 days, 94 miles. Bike held up great, me, not so much!

My 'Go Fast' days are way behind me. You'll more than likely find me on one of these now.
In the days of pre crabon go fast bikes, I did 24hr TTs on this 1981 Miyata 710.
Paris-Brest-Paris 1991 on this 1990 Miyata 600gt. Hit 70mph downhill on this puppy..
Off road is on these things.
In my 64 years of cycling, I've learned that it is much easier to hide the n+1 bicycle in the garage than it is to hide the n+1 motorcycle in the garage.
