The holidays — especially New Year's Eve — can be the loneliest time of the year if you're single. I remember that from personal experience.
So when I started reading an unsolicited e-mail from Bikerkiss last week, I thought this might be a service I could offer any lonely cyclists (I'm assuming) who visit the Biking Bis blog.
Robin wrote me to say that she has visited my website and thought my content would be of interest to her website visitors.
“I wonder if we both sites could join hands to achieve win-win cooperation.”
I overlooked the twisted grammar. I was infatuated.
Not only would I be offering a service to bicyclists seeking a partner — singles in search of a tandem relationship — but I could make a little commission by placing a banner on my site and directing customers their way.
Well, I checked Robin out. At the website, I immediately saw pictures of models wearing denim and leather draped over motorcycles. It read: “Welcome to the best and largest site for friends and singles interested in motorcycles in the world!”
My hopes were dashed; I had been deceived. Leather and denim on 150 horsepower could never be happy with brightly colored spandex on 18 speeds.
I emailed Robin. Spilling out my guts about my dashed hopes, I asked: “Can this relationship be saved?”
No response. Jilted again.
