some questions for a school project on women who bike

[short cut sally]

where do you live?: New York State

how would you classify your riding (commuting, leisure, competitive):
leisure and fitness

how long have you been riding a bike in the way that you do now? did you pick it up again after years of not riding?: 4 or 5 years I've been riding, picked it up after at least 15 years of being idle

what type of bike(s) do you have?: Road bikes x2

do you notice more females on bikes in recent years than before?:not really

do you notice more focus on females who bike in the media recently?:not really, but wish they would, it's very male oriented

do you think there are female specific concerns in cycling? what would they be? (buying appropriate bike/equipment, stigma, safety):finding clothes that fit, esp if you are not skinny minney. maybe when going into a bike shop, the staff talking down to you or not talking to you at all because you are a female in the "mans shop"

general comments and ideas:[/QUOTE]are you a male or female? Are you in high school or college as you said it was a school project? (just wondering) and Good luck on your project
