No, she just said that women are more likely to be doing those things than men. As a male who was the primary person doing those things in my household, my experience is that she is correct. For example, when I took my son to soccer practice, the only males there were the coaches and me. Years earlier, when I took my son to a nursery school co-op, I was the only male. I don't think she is being sexist; she's just making an observation.
I do totally agree with you that bicycle safety and advocacy are not only a women's issue. However, if she can use gender issues as a wedge to get things done, good on her.
