Rydogg Posted August 5, 2011 Share One of my friends mentioned the other day that he would never start cycling, because he had a theory: A theory about how cyclists cannot have sons - only daughters. His logic was not sound, as it involved the squashing of certain "male producing bits", leaving only female producing ones behind. I obviously called him crazy and our friendship was frozen in time! However... Since then, I have not been able to find a man, who has been cycling seriously for a considerable amount of time, who has successfully had a son of his own. So, I was kind of hoping that some of you could dis-prove his theory, as my wife is now threatening (more than usual) to throw my bikes in front of a truck! Please help. Sincerely Moderately concerned cyclist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
