Definitely would not. I went back and corrected that.

More brightly colored bikes attract me to want to ride them. And purple is generally a dark color too. Therefore my reason for not liking it as well.

Pink wasn't a slight either. I have many times actually thought about getting a pink bike. I participate frequently in a annual ride for children's cancer awareness, so it seems a appropriate choice. As well, I don't think of pink as having or implying a gender. That was something the ad people popularized back in the 30's and 40's.
