Cyclists don't have boys?

[luna moth]

I heard a theory from a physio the other day that cyclist dads don't have sons. I thought it was a throwaway comment at first, then she encouraged me to think about the male cyclists I know with kids. She reckons it's really hard for cyclists to produce girls.

I know a LOT of cyclists who have all girl families. The one who does have boys wasn't cycling at the time of conception.

So the physio reckons my DH would have to give up cycling if we ever wanted to have a boy (no we're not thinking that way yet!) I said it would be a long cold day in hell before that happens!

Maybe there's something in that for you gender swayers...

I want a girl !

Better go tell DH to get on his bike !

Hmmmm DH has just started riding and is now addicted and rides to work everyday. It may indeed help ttc a girl.

I've heard the same said of pilots, too.

I know two cyclists, one of them only has boys and the other has one boy and one girl!

Apparently athletes tend to have girls. Maybe it's the same thing.

Funnily enough, my uncle was rider, in comps ect.. and had 6 girls.. moved towns, stopped riding, and ta da, a boy!!!!!

Dh rides. We have a boy. Obviously he's not a professional but, he rides 3-4 times a week. Maybe we got lucky?!

They also say truck drivers should only produce girls as well but we have 5 boys , lol.

My dad is a truckdriver and had 5 girls! Haha! But he is a stress head so maybe the stress theory is true!?
