What about BMX riders? Haha, for a while I'd ride that little thing to school and work, to save on gas, and bust my ass back into shape. I just play around on it in the neighborhoods now though (horrible bike for distance), and am going to get a mountain bike soon enough.
I have downhill and crosscountry mountainbike racer friends who keep trying to get me involved in the races, but I like to just ride for the fun of it. The only reason I see in competing is to be around lots of other people who enjoy the "sport" as much as you do.
As far as whether women think it's sexy. I've met plenty that you tell them you ride a bike as much as possible they kind of shake their head. Most think it's weird that occassionally I'll get with my cycling friends, and hop for bar to bar on our bikes (there are bicyclist friendly bars in this town you can bring your bikes into the bar), and then go jump staircases at the courthouse with a nice buzz. But, then I've met others who love it, and want to join you on your various excursions, or whistle at you while driving by, or get to chat to on the trails, and watching a girl ride a mountain bike over some sketchy rocky terrain without thinking twice, or do some dirt jumps on their bmx, or even flatland tricks... ooooohhhhhhh... drrooooll...
