How long before you notice there is a premium bike in this picture?

What bike?
Some interesting comments in there :
"My thinking is that there’s still a massive reluctance amongst a lot of girls to get mucky and sweaty doing risky sports."
"I wonder if that perceived wisdom (it’s muddy / dangerous, girls don’t like muddy dangerous things) is what perpetuates the “boys club” mentality though – assuming that girls won’t like it anyway and then putting playboy centrefolds up on the walls of the proverbial club-house."
If you look at the enormous number of women who participate in equestrianism, that would suggest that when it comes down to it, women aren't as a whole, reluctant to get mucky and sweaty and as far as risk goes, equestrianism is potentially far more dangerous. The fall just at a standstill is further to start with. They jump over great big gnarly solid things risking their life to a self driving 500kg bike. Your bike doesn't randomly kick you if you charged it 5 minutes too late. Or break your whole body if it falls on you. If you accidentally put one of your wheels on your foot, it doesn't break all the bones.
From what I remember of childhood, it was manly boys who would go out and play with their friends on bikes. Girls, I guess because of historical social norms ? would rather play dolls.
Strangely, I'm sure there's plenty of men as they got older, switched to playing with life sized dolls.
All I can say is thank god we're not mrogyng on here. It would be pretty scary to have pictures of @Gary bent over a bike he's working on, greased up and only wearing his winter under kilt g-string.
Now the ladies ... they might like that ...

Well that is certainly one office bike that would be ridden by everyone!

I like women in general, but I like looking at attractive women more than I like looking at unattractive women. Does that make me a misogynist?
I believe that women are different to men and that is what millions of years of evolution has done for us. They are neither better nor worse then men, just different. Both be appreciated for what they bring to society and civilisation. Does that make me a misogynist?
Stuff about men that women should know.
Women, learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not considered by us to be opportunities to see if we can find the perfect present again!
Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
We don't remember dates. . . .Period!!
Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We've been tricked before!!
If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.
You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.
ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
We are not mind-readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

Haven't you posted that bike before? I never forget a face.

Probably, it's a nice bike.
I got pretty good at remembering that date.
