My husband was riding our local MUT (the Alameda Creek Trail) yesterday. He saw a cyclist stopped on the side of the trail working on her bike so he pulled up and asked something along the lines of "do you have everything you need?"

(which, I might add, is the standard question both he and I ask any cyclist stopped along the side of the road with an apparent mechanical problem).

According to Lee, this woman came unglued on him - "Why would you think I need help just because I'm a woman!!!" (and so forth).

Getting the hint, he gave her a cheery wave and continued on his way.
