    I’m involved in technology and race mountain bikes on the side. Other than the occasional “it must be nice to be fit” comments from the neckbeard techbros, they’re not as openly hostile to me as they are to women who are in tech. There is definitely a strong sexism part of the equation.

      I’m sorry to tell yuu this bro, but nobody gives a shit about mountain bike racers. I don’t think a bunch of poorly socialized boys who were proficient with computers were ridiculed by mountain bike racers when they were young. Good looking people on the other hand…

        What kind of school did you grow up in to not have the nerds vs athletes click battles?

          We did have it, it’s just that mountain bike racers were considered nerds too.
