I'm not 100% on this but i think you mean "dost" not "doth" here

Perhaps you could have made that clear in your post.
It does just come across as a rant against all men.
Just sayin...

Really can't understand this male macho bollox in cycling. I love cycling but to be really good at it requires the upper body strength of a frozen haddock. Just tell the weedy little speed merchants to do one! Hope that's constructive.

The one where a man apologises on behalf of all men? Not in my name. I accept the premise of the OP and will examine my own attitude and behaviour accordingly, but I won't have somebody apologise on my behalf and neither am I able to apologise for the actions of others.Well said, Pat. And thank heavens there is at least one man out there who doesn't instantly live right down to all the old stereotypes:

Just as well I'd a premonition about 'mad wimmen oan bikes' yesterday so I took to the north bank of the river
Mind you if I'd been earlier, I'd have met you once I headed back up through Glasgow south side and Paisley.
Close shave, phew!

When i was an apprentice the lads used to wolf whistle the girls when driving the vans , there was a fella locally that had lovely long blonde flowing hair . It used to crack me up when they used to whistle him and then realise it was a fella .

I used to argue politely with other cyclists who came out with that. Now my replies are scathingly sarcastic, generally managing to fit the word "MAMIL" in at some point. Should it happen during a food stop I also light a cigarette which has the effect of making them go white with fear.

In my experience, it's only blokes who try to turn something as trivial as riding a bike (and many other things) into a willy waving contest... and more often than not, it's those who talk about cycling more than they actually go cycling. Last week i posted an 18 mile route on Facebook. It was a screenshot from google maps with the estimated time of 2hours 4mins... one friend claimed i was far too slow and suggested i go riding with him to get my speed up. I replied saying that I wanted to spend more time cycling, not less, but didn't bother pointing out that the time shown wasn't 'my' time... he can stay ignorant. Then there's things like It takes you how long to mend a puncture, I can do it in X seconds! Who gives a sh!t? And the My bike cost a grand! Wow, I'm really not bothered. Most folk have a thousand quid bike when they use the C2W scheme, and you still drive to work. It's just an extension of my dad's bigger than your dad stuff from primary school. Too many blokes struggle to grow out of it.

If you are not able or good enough to get into a willy waving contest, you always have the option participating in a willy waving sportive...
