That's true. But when I walked the babies I didn't think the advice that I received was ill-intentioned, nor did I get into a gender wrangle with it (or post to a use-group).
I listened and hoped to learn something. Mostly I didn't (learn anything). But the point is: gender knowledge isn't uniformly distributed. The second point is: do not assume that your bike's (or stroller's) setup implies credibility. I have seen lots of folks riding expensive carbon bikes that don't make sense (to me). Does the fact that they are riding a 5K bike mean they have a clue? Answer = NO. So whether pedals were his business or not isn't what is being debated. What's being debated is gender-based knowledge.
