ever wonder why women dont ride bikes?
I understand that there are many women who ride bikes even in bike-unfriendly environments, and I never intended to belittle or insult them. I never meant to say that there are no women who ride bikes in North America. I intended to say that the hostile conditions of North America (to both women and bicycle riders) have lead to a severe underrepresentation of female bicycle riders in North American locales. Admittedly, my phrasing was a little crude, and I'm sorry that I offended you.
I am a big soft lazy squishy baby and if you try to stop me from cycling I will cut you and that is not hyperbole.
Haha What are you talking about? I know a shit ton of women who ride bikes.
Not to say it's not more dangerous for women to ride bikes though.
In bike-unfriendly cities, ~~only men~~ with thick skin ride bikes. In bike-friendly cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen, the gender ratio among bicycle users is equal (or even a bit female biased.)
(The gender ratio is severely biased towards men in bicycle-unfriendly locales)
I used to ride bikes :(
Fuck dudes. Honestly.
