Your handle is not going to help in the "Cycling is for girly boys" tempest.

As for us cyclists being girly boys, I used to ride every other day to work, 14 miles, one way, in heat and humidity (MN summers) weld for 8 hours, then ride home.

Now, I generally ride every other day, 25 miles, and try to maintain a high average speed. Unless I feel the need for some extended road work. Then I go 50 miles or so.
