Have to admit, I didn't think Blue Hills was alluding to your misogynism but instead questioning the use of that particular pronoun in the context of 'riding'.

No i wasn't implying misogyny at all, just a tad concerned about exaggerated, er, fondness for, intimacy with the bike. When off tab may post in/appropriate vid. In my experience anyway, a very large number of charges of misogny are nothing of the sort.

Brand loyalty or what?

Are all those steel hybrids?

Bought new or second-hand?

I almost bought a Discovery roundabout the time of your first two purchases - but fell in with Ridgebacks of a slightly older vintage. And am well pleased.

No, aluminium, the 501 also has carbon forks.

The 201 was second hand and the bike that got me properly started after several false starts with MTB's & tourers, it was stolen.

I have had loads of hybrids pass through from a lot of different brands, but the 501 is my favourite bike, it suited me from day one and after it's planned spring re-furb it'll go across Spain again, making it's hat trick of trans Iberian trips. I can get on that bike and ride all day and have fun.

I have a steel Ridgeback from the late 90's (I think) it's like new now and I like that bike too.
