The gender of cycling fans.

[The Hitch]

The poll is anonymous

I have heard it said that this thing of ours has one of the highest percentages of female fans of any sport. So quick social experiment here. How true is this on CN Forums.

The poll is anonymous so please do vote and preferably post your answer as well. Regardless of whether you are male or female it would be good if you could post your answer (unless you dont want to of course).




Oh and I have mod approval for this

It would interest me too as to how many other women are active in the forum. I am alway surprised how many of the users I approve are female --which is a pretty dumb thing for me of all people to think.

There are 10 people who contribute most to CN, five women and five men.

[The Hitch]

I am offended there are only 2 choices available to vote. To be fair to people who are not sure or don't know I think they should have the option to vote other. Please do not alienate our more ambiguous forum members.
Thank You for your consideration in this matter

 

[Microchip]

Voted

Female. (Where's a smiley wearing a dress when you need one?)

I doubt this is even a good thing to joke about, there are more than enough transsexuals or transgendered people who do not need to be belittled.

(if this is not a joke, please excuse me, but I have become a bit cynical about such statements on the internet)

Anyway to answer the question posed, I am male

 

[Cobblestoned]

No need for dress, you just need pigtails.
These are the smilies the Ullrichfangirls used to choose. They even have magenta-loops.


btw, can't believe that "Zopf" means "pigtail" in English. pigtail sounds so.....dirty.

Actually it comes from when I worked for the 2000 US Census.
Sorry if I offended anyone.
It was a bit tongue in cheek about political correctness. feel free to delete.

 

[Microchip]

Love the pigtails, Cobbles!!


"Go Fabian!! Go Voeckler!"

LOL!

It isn't too bad, but I know that in many places transgenders are still discriminated against

 

[RedheadDane]

The problem is of course that these fora may not necessarily be representative of cycling fans as a whole in terms of the %.

 

[Izzy eviel]

Bloke.

I follow quite a few cycling fans on twitter, at least half are female and really quite knowledgeable about the sport.

 

[JeffreyPerry]

Gender

Male...5 feet 8 inches...brown eyes...handsome...oops, wrong website

Is fora the plural of forum?

 

[Finbouy]

Male.
I see a lot of girls out riding, be nice to see if they follow this forum too.

That's a very interesting little tidbit.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Male

and too often getting dropped by females in cyclo-sportives

 

[Bike Boy]

currently: male. The great thing about living in 2011 is the freedom of choice. One can change sex. I haven't checked the market yet, so I don't know the price.

I could have a great cycling career, but I think there will be quite a few cons aswell. Not to say anything bad about being a girl, indeed I believe they are equally clever, I just personally prefer to be a guy.

 

[Escarabajo]

Male.
