    "Special Women's Section"

    That's what's in the May issue of The Magazine They Won't Stop Sending
    There's nothing new but they've at least changed the pedals and grips they're selling from pink to blue pastel Maybe that's for Easter.

    I guess I've been spoiled by TE.
    A woman can learn so much here.

    Zen - not quite sure which magazine you're referring to (go ahead and hit me upside the head with a 2x4). And maybe I'm just drifting along... but a recent TV commercial has me over the edge, it sells vitamins, specific formulations for teens, girls and boys. For the girls - clear skin, for the boys - builds muscles. Well the boys gets zits, and the girls need stong muscles too!

    Not that this has anything to do with Easter colors.

    I need more coffee. And that second piece of toast. I hate it when my alarm goes off while I'm dreaming. Really discombobulates me.

    Maybe the girl vitamins come in baby pink and the boy vitmains come in baby blue too.

    Bicycling?
    The subscription is in my husband's name, so the "woman's section" doesn't come here...
    I did notice a subtle change in the tone of the new issue. Perhaps it's the woman editor? I take it all with a grain of salt. They are trying to talk to such a wide audience, that something is bound to offend someone. I still like reading it.

    I think there was a woman's section in the bicycling magazine I got this week.

    I saw that ad too and my head spontaneously combusted.
    It wasn't pretty. Maybe I should take some special vitamins.

    I thought the same thing!

    I would like to see an article in the "Special Women's Section" about the diva cup.

    I would just like for them to explain chamois creams that claim to be suitable for men and women, but are not supposed to come in contact with mucous membranes.

    Maybe those are made by men who have no experience with women?

    Yes, Zen, I saw that section in Bicycling magazine too. Pretty much the most useful part was the comparing WSD bikes to their male counterparts, from a woman's perspective. Frankly, not very insightful. And yes, I think its because TE is just plain awesome.

    Not very insightful given they had one woman and she didn't really have a wsd body.

    They couldn't have a panel of women?

    True. They're probably all out shopping or getting their hair & nails done.

    Maybe you can tape a piece of plastic into a funnel & experiment?
