Good heavens. Apparently Reading is a haven of enlightenment. Who knew?

I've been cycling 20 minutes each way across Reading for 6 months now, and to the best of my knowledge haven't had a single remark addressed at me. Admittedly pedestrians glare at me in the area of pedestrianised road which everyone seems to think is no cycling (it isn't), but I think no one could justify that as sexist.

I'd no idea this wasn't the norm. Or maybe I look like a bloke.
