I think that most guys would feel ashamed so they speed up, pass and then realize that "hey, this chick can ride!!" It becomes too much for them and they slip back. Either that or they just wanna look at the great butt! :D

Actually, this happens pretty much with anything that moves, minus large vehicular objects. If we see something/someone that passes us, or is catching up, or we think is catchable up in the distance, we kick it into gear. It's not just women, and it's not always people our age group. Elderly, small kids on BMX bikes, strollers, all fair game. :D
Hope that helps :)

Yup that is it, including large vehicular objects. Fun passing cars! Raced a llama once too. Also like to challenge speed limit signs!:D

Girls don't pass me.
Those dudes sound "really cool." If I were a girl I'd just ride off the front of their wheel.
If you wish to be out front, then act as if you were behind.

Amen. I had an aweful ride on Sunday and ended up sucking the wheel of this pretty hot chick who was going jsut the pace I needed. She was really nice.
When I am doing intervals, I always feel funny when they end right after I pass a chick. Then she passes me back during the recovery. Then I blow by her a few minutes later. I always hope she doesnt think I am just being an ass and that she recognizes intervals when she sees em.

Ok, so what you're saying is that women are like the cute little bunnies that are let out before the dog race...and your instinct, much like that of the dog, says..."Get her, catch her, go go go!"? hehehe :D Your responses make me laugh, though now i'm going to be thinking: "Does this saddle make my butt look big?"
And next time this natural, instinctual phenomenon occurs I should...?

I have this happen often, not just to females. I always kind of feel like a jerk. So I modify my intervals to let the person slip away for some distance and then try to catch them. Once I get 20ft away, I ease up and let them get away again.

Stand up, crank the pedals hard to flex those muscles, and give us a nice hot look over your shoulder

To be honest a lot of guys won't let any one pass them. It's not always gender specific it's anyone and everyone some people just don't like to be passed. Me I could really care less. On top of that I am riding to about my max every damn time I am out there so I don't have much more left. Jstyle only knows race pace nothing else (which I realize is a problem :) )

The only thing more mesmerizing than seeing women ride bikes is seeing women run! Rollerblading chicks are pretty distracting too :)

If you passed me and I was by myself I would try to catch up to have some one to talk to and push me harder.
Also if you passed and I didn't get a good look at you and you looked good from behind I would want to check the rest of you out too.
(just being honest! :D )

I just had this happen to me last night on my run. I'm in the middle of my taper for IMWI so I was running not too fast, not too slow, just kind of cruising listening to my ipod. I pass this sort of pudgy guy. I try to be nice and say hi, how ya doing as I go by. The next thing I know, I can hear him behind me even with the ipod on. His feet are pounding on the ground and he's breathing like he's in an all out sprint. Help me out here - I can't understand this whole thing of not being passed by a female - the guy was overweight and didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of keeping up with me, let alone passing me. What was he trying to prove? And there has got to be another explaination other than you want to check us out.
BTW, I know it's evil, but I sped up.

I think if the guy is competitive or it is an ego issue he'll want to pass you to prove something.
If they guy is not really competitive or doesn't have an ego issue(like myself) it could be to be social and/or check you out.
Next time you can ask,
and that will fluster the competitive/ego guy:D

Speaking as a man who gets passed regularly by women, men, children, and an old guy with a wooden leg and oxygen canister, I can say it's not about pride. It's about the view.
Ok guys, let me into your world.... This morning I'm minding my own business, rocking out to music on a 40 mile ride. I had 2 sets of 10-minute-race-pace drills to do. I passed two guys on road bikes going around 15 mph during one of the drills. Next thing I know, the one guy catches up to me, passes me, and then slows down again. I pass him again because he's back to the 15mph...and when I turned around he had disappeared.
Its not the first time that I've passed a guy only to feel him on my rear or passing me a few seconds later. Once, a guy I've nick-named "Richard Simmons" :D joined me on a ride, then decided to jabber on and on and on (I didn't know the guy) and two miles from the end of the ride, he stands up in the saddle, and "runs" (his words) to the parking lot....so he could finish before me.
What the heck is that all about? Tell me, please what guys are thinking when a girl passes them on the bike.....
