Women love cyclists

Yup, it's true! "In a survey commissioned by this week’s Cycle Show," women said that they were more attracted to fans of cycling than to fans of any other sport. (The source of the survey doesn't sound terribly neutral, but I'll let that slide.)

My favourite quotation from this article is this: "Whilst cyclists were most frequently described as ‘kind’, ‘considerate’ and ‘intelligent’; the majority of women questioned felt that football fans were typically ‘aggressive’, ‘selfish’ and ‘proud.’"

So, really, no matter how many reasons people cite when they write negatively about cyclists (usually using flawed logic and even more flawed grammar), this one reason trumps them all. Well, for people who enjoy positive attention from women, anyway.
