Can someone explain the general sexist themes going on here? Always stop for women? Are all female riders really that helpless?

I know much of this was said in jest, but I can't help but think many of you guys are being completely serious about this.

I'm single gent on a journey to discover the beautiful cycling damsel to cherish. Stopping greatly increases the chances of this happening. That is all....

EDIT: And no. You cannot bring up the Armpies incident... :P

Since I started with it I might as well explain why you always stop for woman. So yes its serious, but not in the way you think...the theme I set was tongue in cheek..."stopping for hot aunties"

 

See its not about being helpless or tech idiots...its about a woman being stranded on the side of the road in locations that sometimes presents opportunity to criminals that want more than your cell, wallet and bike. That is really the crux. 

 

It does help if the aunty you are stopping for is hot though...yes I am back to tongue in cheek comments.

I agree completely with this, however don't put a disclaimer in for it helping if the girl is hot, it's a very true statement... it really does help, that doesn't make me sexist, just shallow... and I'm ok with that :ph34r:

Those two doctors (the "ter haar" brothers) spent 90min and arranged for a helivac as the bloke (nic bac) had a broken back. They ended up being 2nd last across the finish line.

 

A serious question needs to be asked if the paramedics are sufficiently trained to deal with these injuries as they didn't even have a scoop to move the bloke.

and a woman who fell in the umko was asked to walk out, despite being knocked out, as the medic had problems getting to her. Phat help the sosApp was.

That's really what it's about, right there. Self reliance. If you're having trouble with the spares YOU carry, then that's cool.
