    It’s a commuter bike. Most bikes in the US are sports bikes, designed for athletes. Most bikes in the Netherlands are commuter bikes, designed for average people. It’s not “small dick energy” for a man to not be an athlete. That’s toxic masculinity that harms men. It’s misandrist and it upholds patriarchy. Part of destroying patriarchy is liberating men from judgement like this.

        Good point, but calling a commuter bike a girl’s bike because it’s not for athletes has the same problem.

        I for one think men should be allowed to have a comfy and easy ride to work or the grocery store no matter what their fitness level
