Am curious, do you think there are many women in Singapore who cycle long distances /for fitness vs. functional/leisurely/recreational cycling? Have you heard of a local racing oriented group of women? That would be one indicator.
i would think most women in Singapore who cycle do so for fitness. Few people do it for functionality etc.
I'm not sure iff there are women specific groups, most are mixed gender. Most of the women i do see out on the road are with large groups of men. I guess there aren't enough women in one location to form a group of just women.
personally, i like mixed groups better, its not putting down women or anything, just my personal feeling. As it is there are alot of group politics in cycling, esp one that is based on location (people all live in the area) and even among other groups I know. It would be harder to distance yourself from group politics if it were an all women group. I just want people to cycle with. I do not need extra drama in my already very busy life. And trivial drama at that. With a men's group, just pretend you don't know what the men are saying and then let them deal with their own issues.
Female cyclists in Singapore are mostly looking for a fitness sport, or tagging after their boyfriends/husbands. former group can be extremely competitive, latter group can be plain annoying.
I've yet to meet any female cyclist i've enjoyed riding with (well there was one, but she lives on the other tip of the country... so i havent ridden with her in a long time) so, i just enjoy riding with the men and stay away from group drama :D
edit: oh yes i do recall seeing a one group of women, they looked very competitve and were speeding along one sunday morning. it was in a location far away from my home so i bet they're some pro athlete types and i'm happy trundling along at my 25km/hr pace. so i'll leave that alone. hhaha...
