(catchy title, huh?)

BSNYV touches on women in biking. Pretty funny :D

"In fact, if you're a woman reading this, you may be flattered to know that when it comes to cycling in America you're actually an "indicator species," like a harbor seal in the Puget Sound:"

Yeah, I saw Snobby's post and the Adventure Cycling Blog (http://blog.adventurecycling.org/2009/10/wanted-more-women-on-bikes.html) post about it.
I left a comment on AC site.

I thought Snobby's entire post subject was pretty good, in effect it was 'we're not as special as we may like to think we are'.

I rode around town yesterday. It was kind of cool so I wore tights, two layered thermals and a windbreaker. I was only going to the doctor, not to work, so I could dress like that. But if I didn't have that casual option I would have driven.
