Portland's cycle hire station wanted me to type in my gender!
In other news, I rode a bike!! For the first time since I had surgery in January 2016.
@celesteh not sure why they need to know that but cool that they give you a text input instead of a radio box
@KitRedgrave to be fair, if I were running a cycle hire scheme, i would want to monitor how inclusive it was, so I would collect statistics like these.
@KitRedgrave
I was thinking this, too.
@celesteh
@celesteh I doubt gender would be a table, far more likely to be a column on the 'people' table.
@keiyakins I don't actually want to screw up their database anyway....
@RussSharek An inspiration!
@celesteh
Why is that necessary for bikes? Haha
