Johnny B Posted November 27, 2005 I´ve observed that Somalis lack the culture of cycling , Although Somali families buy bikes for both their sons and daughters. ONLY the boyz continue biking into manhood, while Girlz quit biking at an early age of gilrhood. I´ve even observed that most Somali girlz rather drive cars than bike. why is it so? What is wrong with the biking culture. Where is that healthy/active Cycling Somali Girl/Woman? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muhammad Posted November 27, 2005 what hapaned to your otherwise active neurons sxb? how hard is it to ride a bike with a goono or hijaab? or is to raise the style of clothing your hidden objective? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rowda Posted November 27, 2005 I did had a bike back home but in our culture it was mostly a boy thing to do. After not riding a bike good ten years, I chose to ride my bothers bike one night but (waxaa iga qabsatay sheekadii xiin faniind) horrible accident and never ride again! I have to admit though there is something save about driving car, u ar confort zone compare to the bike plus speed driving is my thing 125mph. pls dont try this at home! Go the gym if u looking for healthy living. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted November 27, 2005 Johny, am afraid our little precious daughters may suffer an acute mountain bike sickness .When people go to high elavations like on top of a bike sit, they may hyperventilate .This will produce some sort of lower respiratory alkalosis .

Katrina Posted November 27, 2005 That's an easy answer. With all the pressure on Somali girls to maintain their proof of virginity biking is a big NO NO! Like the FGM, tampon vs. pad, multiple wives issue weren't hard enough on girls they need ever edge to keep their eager to complain male counterparts complacent. In summary that's why biking for girls is frowned up/discouraged in our culture. Peace & Love... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nephissa Posted November 27, 2005 "Maintain proof of what?" That's totally unfair, and a bunch of crap. Contrary to popular belief, not every girl can't ride a bicycle. I've been riding it since I was this tall (|.) I may be devirginezid, but I'm proud of it. I like riding in the Park. Something most Somalis can't comprehend. Those who judge based on a virginity, can kiss my **bleep** PS: I've never seen an athletic built Pharah ridding a bike! Impressed I am. There's a hope afterall.

Xalimopatra Posted November 27, 2005 Katrina arintaasi waan maqley also.Lakiin I heard that after some girls have fgm performed it is highly uncomfortable more then anything else ma'aha? Bishaaro dont you just miss riding during the summer season though?It is so nice riding just when the qorax is not so intense (5-7pm) I detest winter with a passion wallahida. Johnny B.When most girls grow up are maybe focused on alot of things(school,work ect)I, personally know alot who have no time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dhagax-Tuur Posted November 28, 2005 There is something un-islamic about it. I can't bear seeing a woman riding a ****** bike, let along a muslim girl. Nah! Bad. Do not do it! It is also said that when the female equality movement was sorta its infancy in the West, the sight of a woman riding a bike was a SIGN - kind of saying to the fellas....look at me, I too can do it! There is something un-modest about it! That is, as they say, my personalment gut-feeling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simply_I Posted November 28, 2005 Is it discouraged for a girl to ride a bike in our culture? I didn't know that. My 32 year old auntie used to ride a bike (ok that was a few years ago) yet my granny never objected. I personally do not like riding on a bike anymore its jus so tiring especially with all the traffick around, you have to keep looking around and pray to finish your journey safely. And of course it wouldn't look right with the way i dress. Plz lets not bring fgm into the topic....ok its wrong but it doesn't render you disabled!! PS.last time the topic was brought up havoc broke loose in SOL, lets take a break for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katrina Posted November 28, 2005 Bishaaro, calm down. I'm just answering the man's question, don't kill the messenger. I never said I believed that crap but that is the attitude and underlying mentality of our ignoramous community, no? Preach on brother Castro. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
