I'm glad someone added some humor to this thread!
Personally, I couldn't really care less about someone's gender when it comes to stuff like this. I tend to ignore everyone aside from the same basic pleasantries, or if my help if requested, or something like that. If I'm out riding my bike by myself, its likely because I want to be by myself.
While there are a lot of weirdos out there, some women need to realize that a lot of guys don't care about them one way or the other, and if they try to make conversation, it is only not to seem rude.
Much of what is being said in this thread seems very foreign to me, but then again, I usually don't hesitate to tell people to f**K off.
