    True: pure Transportation can’t really be gay or not be gay as it’s orthogonal to the subject of sexuality.

    However, nothing stops people from mixing some Recreation into their Transportation if they’re willing to lose some efficiency in the latter and I was just imagining how one could possibly do it for making it somehow “gay”.

    PS: Should I’ve put an /s in my previous post?

      Nah, I got it. It’s just that even referencing misconceptions (e.g. that cycling is for lycra-clad wannabe-racers) derisively helps spread them, and unlike my previous comment, I couldn’t think of a way to rebut this one and be funny at the same time.

      In other words, it was really more of a “me” problem: promoting utility cycling is kinda my pet issue. I didn’t write it, but this pretty much captures the perspective I’m coming from and how strongly I feel about it.
