There are many other bike clubs in the Bay Area as well, including ...drum roll....Velogirls, a womens club.

the velogirls ride at times that don't work for me, but i have checked out there web page and they seem really cool, like i said i am shy i think i will try out the grizly peak cyclists soon though, i recently removed my back tire and inner tube then put it all back cuz i feel like i at least need to know how to fix a flat and stuff, and tomorrow or very soon i will get some real bike shorts, i feel sorta funny going for a ride without proper bike clothes, i am very shy and self conscious.
thanks for the reply, i feel less afraid now
