I'm not a beat-around-the-bush kinda gal so take my post at face value. As I said, regular participation by a guy here on TE puzzles me. There are innumerable cycling sites that cater to all things male, TE is the only place I've found on the web where I can come and discuss things specific to women and cycling. Trek expressed this much more eloquently than I ever could... "Just speaking for myself here, that's all, we just ask you to honor that somehow, this is a very special space".
