I don't see what people are complaining about. All I see is a list of things they offer and that its for the shakespeare hospice?

... the whole thing has changed since they abandoned the "birds on bikes" event and removed all reference to it - as result of feedback and criticism via various media.

tbh I think the second bit is the problem not the first - if the birds on bikes route was a real beast, for women, and it said so, I don't see it being patronising.

What's the difficulty of a route got to do with the gender of the cyclists?

Nothing. My point was I don't see a problem with the term 'birds' just the assumption the easy route was for women.

I thought the term "bird" went out when Hancock's Half Hour finished on the radio and television way back when ... although it did get a bit of a revival when Michael Caine made the film Alfie in the 1960s!
