Overgeneralizations never cause any conflict around here. I'm sure we'll get many insightful responses, and everyone will have fun and learn something.

Guys ride bikes to have fun riding bikes. Girls ride bikes to crush the soul of their husband/boyfriend. Something like that?

fill in the sexism guys ride bikes to have an excuse to shave their legs; girls ride bikes to enjoy themselves and stay fit, because their legs are already shorn.

Fill in the sexism? No thanks
People ride bikes for any number of reasons usually not relating to gender or lack thereof and topics like this are just absolutely cringy and feel like an old basically unknown 80s comedian (who hasn't changed or wasn't ever funny) who is absolutely struggling to find an audience these days even though they have tried everything.
