best cycling helmets women image
Bernie
I have a 2 road bikes 1 for me and 1 for my wife I encourage her to go cycling with me on weekends early in the morning but she is always saying no. what's with that attitude
Answer
my local bike shop owner told me (when I was planning to buy a bike for my S.O.) that most guys buy themselves good stuff, then their wife gets hand-me-down equipment. They aren't happy, it doesn't fit right, and they aren't interested in going.
I went to the store with money, let my S.O. look at the bikes in our price range ($1500-2500) and pick out the bike she liked the best (gray Cannondale with a pink design and she was able to get a matching jersey, helmet and bike gloves.) it seems INCREDIBLY silly to me, but I get to ride with my girl so it was worth every penny. We guys look at things like components, weight, brand, materials etc. Girls want something that looks good.
The next thing you should look at is bike fit. Buying a women's specific bike usually works well. Most women have wider sit-bones, shorter arms and narrower shoulders than men. If she's riding a bike built for you and you lowered the seat and said "go ride honey" it might not be very comfortable. A really good bikefitter (someone with years of experience) and some money to make changes (new seat, new handlebars, new stem, shorter cranks, etc etc) would show her that you want her to be happy and comfortable so she wants to go.

What are some of the most iconic operas in western civilization?

Are there any operas out there that are so popular that anyone seeing a scene on the stage would instantly recognize it? If so, what are they?
(You don't need to have seen Star Wars to recognize Darth Vader, right? *l*)
Answer
Depends on who the audience is, I suppose. There are iconic western operas, and famous scenes from those operas. Probably anyone familiar with opera would recognize them--Butterfly's death from "Madama Butterfly." (Maybe ANY of the heroines' deaths from ANY of the great tragic operas--Tosca, La Boheme, Carmen, etc!) Queen of the Night and any of the comic duets from "Magic Flute."
Remember, too, that operas are instantly recognizable by their music, which is the one thing that stays the same from production to production. I'd be much more likely to recognize an aria by sound than by sight, as the look of the opera's going to change every time it's done.
Having said all that--the one thing I can think of that might be recognizable as "opera" to even a layperson would be your stereotypically large woman with a viking helmet on and Princess Leia cinnamon-bun-hair. You know--the opera's not over 'till the fat lady sings? I always associate this image with Wagner's Ring Cycle operas, but I'm not familiar enough with those to even give you a character name.
(Incidentally, you might have more success posting this question again over in music. Opera is traditionally pigeonholed as a more musical art form rather than a theatrical one, even though clearly both are involved.)
