Now, just to be clear, this question in no way relates to my own sexual preferences, not that there's anything wrong with that
but I was curious if there is diversity in the biking world.
A related question: Do you personally know a gay/lesbian cyclist? I haven't come across one yet. Everyone in the Forum seems to be a single or a happily married hetero.
Cheers!
Personally I care very little about who a sportsman or sportswoman chooses to share a bed with. I'll follow someone based on their abilities on the bike rather than their sexual prowess.
As for gay cyclists, I'm not aware that any cyclists I know personally are gay (it's not something I tend to ask people, because it makes no difference to me), but use another forum where two of the female members are reasonably open about being in a relationship with each other.
