Inertia

I feel like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!
I think you should re read the opening post and see who it's directed at



Talk about painting the whole world with a messy brush?
Not really, after reading it I could see I wasn't one of the male cyclists it was aimed at, I did feel sympathy for the OP though.

[QUOTE 4767726, member: 9609"]well I entirely believe them and sympathise with them, but it is far from a problem that is experienced exclusively by women from men I would guess it exists at sim.ilar levels from both sexes on both sexes. I think the big difference is it is probably less intimidating when it is happening to a bloke as he can tell them to feck off any time he chooses. (in fact I have never found it intimidating just bloody annoying) In the real world I am a very quiet person who takes his time over what ever I am working on - and nothing pishes me off more than smart alec no-it-alls who try to barge in and show me how they would do it.[/QUOTE]
I think literally noone has said that

That is where the disagreement lies, the OP and other posters experiences suggest otherwise.

For myself, I have never experienced it

Sorry to reply again but just wanted to pick up on this point, I think its wrong to assume that just because the victim may be a bloke he can just 'man up' and tell the instigator where to stick it.

I do think its more likely that someone who would do this; wouldnt do it to a man for fear of being told where to go. (or other reaction)
 
Can we perhaps not use "vagina/vulva" as an insult in this one thread?

( I suspect @Markymark was doing this deliberately, but still)
Apologies but I do equally use cock as an insult too.

I've been told at least twice by different men that my cadence was too low. This observation wasn't asked for but I took it in a constructive manner. Were they being condescending?
I think a lot of these exchanges can be taken either way, perhaps the OP is being a tad defensive and these bods are just trying to help - rightly or wrongly.

Good God saw a lady the other day who had a Chelmer cycling top on and had the best figure ever!! As a male cyclist there is nothing wrong with admiring the finer figure and also the fact that I cycle with my kids along chosen routes that don't require helmets!It's Johnny and Johanne texter we need to eridicate in cars that is a major problem..Remember we don't pay road tax to share the road with people who enjoy ant and dec on a Saturday night.
