Oi .... here it goes ...... The local shop runs a lot of group rides and has its own cycling club (or rather, the shop owners and most employees are in the club.) There are riders of both sexes (or is "genders" the PC acceptable term nowadays ? ) In any case, any of them can work the register, fix a bike, outride my sorry butt and keep up with the fast group .... But it isn't "sexist" top assume that if there are two people in a shop, the guy is the mechanic, but Only because of social patterns .... "norms" which are in fact not "normal" but just usual.
However, the "Big-girl panties" remark was definitely an attack by Rydabent on what he implied was the lacking masculinity of people who don't do roadside repair.
The logical flaw here .... would be taking anything Rydabent posted, seriously.
He is not only a bent rider, he is a dinosaur, even by my standards. He grew up in a time when men were os afraid of women men had to belittle and demean women just to feel adequate .... and he is one of those old guys who instead of getting wise, got bitter, so he is still living in the mindset of a person born in the Cretaceous age (or however old he is---I think he is 85.) To him, calling a wan "womanly" is an ultimate put-down.... he doesn't see that he is also demeaning all women because for him, looking down on women (those scary women) is this norm.
(Contrast this with OldTryGuy who is about as old but has stayed vital and mentally alive ..... )
But hey .... for a guy as old as Rydabent to still be able to ride at all, is pretty amazing, so I try to cut him some slack when he responds with his tiny dinosaur brain, or completely fails to grasp the meaning of posts responding to his, or fails to even read posts responding to his ......
As for the size of underwear .... I guess Depends won't fit under bibs which is why he so loudly advertises the benefits of loose, floppy shorts.
But hey .... for all his silliness, the guy is still riding.

BTW, since I have retired when I was 70 I have ridden approx 25,000 mile, and have never called anyone to rescue me, OR WALKED HOME. OTOH I have stopped and assisted countless riders that didnt have the knowledge or supplies or tools they should have had with them. To me the biggest surprise is that my 6" crescent wrench is the tool most used to help people out of their problem.

Look at the quote and tell me that isn't an implied statement that men who don't repair the bike roadside are "womanly". Obviously, that is supposed to be an insult of the men, that they are acting like women who can't fix their own bikes.
Ryda's comment is an overtly sexist comment. I agree with Maelochs that OP probably isn't to be taken too seriously, but your claim here is really an insult to everyone's intelligence. Why would you work this hard to deny the obvious?
And no, in your hypothetical, I'm working with the first tech who talks to me, this "you would" crap is nonsense. Yes, if you opt for the male tech just because he's male and reject the female simply because she's female, you are a sexist person. That averages junk is a very transparent rationalization of anti-group prejudice. And just so you know, that's not how statistics work. There is no such thing as a "law of averages" for individual skills and talents.
You're actually much worse than OP here, you should know better.

BTW since I am a life long technician, other than having a bike shop mechanic put together my new bike, because of mfg warranty requirements, the man vs woman thing in the bike shop has never come up. Pondering it some, I think I would pick the oldest one, man or woman, because of experience.

You're actually quite wrong about the impossibility thing. The people who set long distance riding records (x miles in a year for example) often do it by riding a fairly tight circle (diameter of, say, 4 miles) around their homes. It's an extremely efficient way of piling up miles (it makes all sorts of pit stops/bail outs very easy). A few people have posted on BF describing how they do this to ride an otherwise incredible number of miles.

The smaller loop, the more control you have over things like traffic controls and terrain; the bigger the loop, the more difficult it'll be to exclude those negative factors. I've been looking for a clean, 25-33 mile loop for a *****-and-giggles sub-5 solo century and, even in the sticks, it's not easy to come by.

I have yet to take my bike to a bike shop and be asked which wrench I want working on it.

Yup. I spend a lot of time in areas where my phone is an expensive brick.
1985: Whats a cell phone? Oh, you mean the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X? That cost $4000 then and had a battery life of 60 minutes, weighed nearly 2 lbs, and took 10 hours to charge? Nope. Didnt have one.
Even though this is close to Breckenridge, no service.
Id have to drive 20 miles to the west or north but about 100 miles to the south or east to get a signal.
This is that 20 miles to the west (closer to 30). And I could only get a signal if I climbed up to the top of a specific hill. Every where else the phone is a brick. Its not even as useful as a brick. A brick could at least be used as a hammer.
Just nope. Not for about 50 miles.
If it aint in my head or in my pack, its not likely to get fixed and Im in for a bit of walking.
This goes with me just about everywhere I go backcountry or in town

The people I'm talking about are racking up hundreds of miles per day, day in, day out. Amanda Coker used this technique to smash the year record--the same 7 mile loop, again and again and again for 235 miles per day. https://gearjunkie.com/news/amanda-c...mileage-record
The advantage is obvious--when something goes wrong, it's just a quick walk back home to get the back-up bike, eat, rest up, whatever. Also, you can take bigger risks of riding in foul weather because you can easily bail if it gets too bad. Every time you increase the circumference of that circle, you're increasing the likelihood of extended down time when that is your primary enemy to setting the record..
As for efficiency, the question would be "efficiency for what?" Remember, I was just answering someone who said it was impossible to do extensive riding and stay within a couple of miles from home--I'm just giving the most extreme example. It would be terribly inefficient for me to rack up miles this way because I'd stop doing it out of sheer boredom.

Oh, you meant distance records as in setting distance records compared to anyone anywhere. I figured you were referring to people setting their own records, like PRs. If I ride a few thousand miles in a year, thats good. She rode that in less than 2 weeks.

Amanda Coker is sui generis. I don't think that record is ever getting broken.

Yup Im 83 and ride anywhere from 15 to 35 miles every other day. Both my bike and trike have have a mirror image trunk packs of each other when it comes to tools and supplies.
BTW, since I have retired when I was 70 I have ridden approx 25,000 mile, and have never called anyone to rescue me, OR WALKED HOME. OTOH I have stopped and assisted countless riders that didnt have the knowledge or supplies or tools they should have had with them. To me the biggest surprise is that my 6" crescent wrench is the tool most used to help people out of their problem.

I have NEVER called for a ride.
I got a ride three time in over 50 years .... once in an ambulance, once by the guy who ran a stop sign, causing a crash which destroyed my right shoulder, and once from a riding partner when I crashed at the bottom of a steep, rocky hill on an MTB. Luckily there was a road about 20 yards away, and about three minutes walk to the car-park. (I was not able to make the normally three-minute walk in under about three hours due to injuries, so asking him to get the car made more sense to me ... )
I have walked home because unless you carry spare BBs, spare wheels, spare rim strips, and spare tires ..... I don't see how you can boot a several-inch tear in a tire with a crescent wrench.
Whatever.
I don't come here to brag, not to put down other people. So ... we are not that similar after all, despite both being old and cranky and liking to ride.
Keep on riding ... and don't be afraid to grow as a person.

I was wondering what happened to @rydabent. It used to be that every four months or so he would start a thread about cycling wear, or diamond-frame bikes, or a couple other silly topics ....

I carry a multitool, and every couple of years, I end up using it roadside. I think that makes it worth carrying because it's so small.
Wish I could say I've not had any flats this year, but I've done a little bit more riding than you, so you may catch up on flats this year yet. I hope not, though, that's a really great streak you got going there.

I've been looking for a clean, 25-33 mile loop for a *****-and-giggles sub-5 solo century and, even in the sticks, it's not easy to come by.
I'm planning on doing my first century next June. I'll be 57 by then and just having a safe, smart way to train for it is important to me. The ride I am planning on doing has well equipped rest stops approximately every 15 miles. I have a 16 mile loop I ride from my house that I often ride and I'm planning on riding it for my long rides during training. The distance between rests will be similar, I can do the rests from my own home without carrying gels or other fuel and I'll have a clean rest room. The climbs on my 16 mile loop will be more challenging, but hills make one stronger so if all goes according to plan, I will only be disappointed by the Porta-Potties on the actual century.

I have latex tubes so after 2 days they will drop 5-10ps. I top them up everytime I ride.
Sine 99% of my rides are on Long Island, I only need a multi tool and able to fix a flat on my rides. In 30,000 miles i've never not made it home under my own power. I do carry a cell phone and have my AAA membership number and the Uber app if I ever needed ride.
