Thinking of getting the missus a new bike

[bagpuss]

So after much searching I came across this gem .

 

[mistyoptic]

Too much toe-in on those rear wheels

 

[Once a Wheeler]

Come on now, be a gentleman:

Just one of a number of suitable machines here.

[bagpuss]

Even I, being a less than right-on, modern thinking, politically correct minded person, can see why the OP might annoy some women. Especially women cyclists.

I'm not going to tag them through fear of starting 40 pages of replies worthy of an international crisis, but one name is similar to "studmicks" and the other rhymes with "the plod". Rest assured OP that if they see this thread and are of a mind to bite, you WILL be torn up for ar5e paper! You're on your own with this one....

Is a titainuim version available ?

I don't want to be accused of white knighting or anything but it's absolutely fine for men to call out misogyny purely for its own sake, we don't need to do it on behalf of, or seek permission from, women. It could however be considered a little rude to talk about, and easily identify, people behind their backs. This kind of 'ooh, you'll be in trouble when these women find out' attitude could itself be considered a bit sexist.

Hey, all I'm asking for is a little consistency.
