The Princess, being benevolent and compassionate, as well as clever and gorgeous, (and modest), accepted the ENDM's apology while also providing some spiritual guidance on the respecting of cyclists.

The average yob seems far more forgiving of chicks in lycra than guys in lycra.

Ross also wondered that exact same thing on the previous page, but I do feel the ENDM's appology was sincere and not influenced by gender.twizzle wrote:I wonder how much success there would have been if "Princess Lycra" had been "Prince Lycra"?

Maybe the fact that I was open to the meeting going either way, confrontation or concilliation, also allowed for a positive outcome.

As one might imagine from a being so blessed with special powers, Princess Lycra is a friend to all creatures great and small. And it is true that the black and white guardians of the air space around our fine harbour, do at times make a visitation upon the Princess, but it is with little malice or aggravation that they do so. The Princess suspects thay are merely forming a guard of honour for her, as she makes her way through their enchanted forest.il padrone wrote:Good Princess, doest thou hold such mystical powers of counsel and peace that one could apply said powers to yon evil birds in the black and the white that lurk in the far regions of the harbour and the path of ye bicycles? For ne'er hast one met such winged terror as doest lurk in the distant harbour of Coffs, not at all for a full twelve years .
The goodness and light that surrounds the Princess is indeed a powerful force.
May you enjoy peace and tranquility thoughout our fine northern land if you once again travel to our shores.
Princess Lycra

Now that your work on transforming the newspaper ogre to human is complete, couldst thou travel from yon beautiful Coffs to the (even more wonderful) realm of Port Macquarie and workth your magic charm on f****n plovers??

Let not one's age determine how one will think or act, and let not one's acts or thoughts determine one's age...for you are as young as you want to be, and as old as you think you are...
And the villagers thought upon the Princess's words and nodded and were pleased...
And as Princess Lycra pedalled on her way, she was pleased that the 555km she rode last week was making her quads pretty damn hot, even for an ageless princess...

Has anyone ever mentioned that your 'avatar' doesn't look unlike Tony Abbott ?

However, it's a 'shop of the crazy BNA guys helmet that used to appear on the right hand side of the side, stuck on one of these twins:
Then a bit of MS-PAINT for the chin strap. The overall effect is quite fetching I thought. Then again, it looks a bit like me (enough for the kids to laugh about it).

First off, 555km isn't too much for a 21 year old
Secondly.... boy, that's a lot of k's in a week!

The photo features prominently on the fence at the local building recyclers - I ride past it every day and it still makes me LOL.
Not all of us living in rural villages are that rural looking
(back on topic)
One good thing about Armidale is that there's far less in the way of suburban deliveries as in the magical village of Coffs Harbour - which increasingly resembles Sydney when we visit there. Magical princesses do need to be very careful of dense urban areas. Us dense country types ride with few of those issues.

Ballen's dealer would likely be interested in the unauthorised use by the New England building recycler (and sorry to say by drubie)
