Cis people: I don't see what gender has to do with this.

Also cis people: I wouldn't ride a bicycle that colour.

@typhlosion @celesteh omg that confuses me so much! Risking ruining clothes and all sorts when there's a more comfortable option o_o

(I haven't ridden a bike in 25+ years tho, so... yeah idk.)

@bentosmile @typhlosion

People in Europe ride "city bikes" that have things like mudflaps and chain covers.

USians ride hybrid pseudo-mountainbikes which have no mudflaps and completely exposed chains because that's more masc. They're not real mountain bikes because weight, so they're not actually useful for trail riding. And they have nothing that's good for street riding. They are the worst of all possible bike shapes. But they're butch, so they are super common.
