If the Granny gear is the front ring, does that mean the Granpa gear is on the rear?

I don't think it's "offence" that I feel. More regret that we damage the cause of spreading the benefits and joys of cycling by the attitudes we convey.
I engaged the smallest chain ring on my triple today. It got me up a hill. I didn't feel like I had even entered the spectrum of male sexual abuse. As I clicked the gears, I did wonder if I was an even bigger monster than those filthy types who hold a door open for women. It was awful.

And so we move to gender stereotyping.
Perhaps we should take time to consider everything we choose in life.

MAMIL now there is an ageist sexist derogatory term that should be banned.
What about that great cycling brand, Fat Lad at the Back?

Thinking about it, I don’t think it’s a phrase I have ever used tbh. Us young folk wouldn’t be seen dead on a triple! ;)
