That would be my question. I don't know what the point of the calendar is or what else is in it, but if it's just a bunch of cycling women posing like this so someone can make some money, I find that offensive. I mean, the bike is only a prop or an afterthought. OTOH, if there is an equal number of scantily dressed men posing in this way, and it's a calendar being sold to benefit a charity, say, to buy bikes for disadvantaged people, I'd be a little less critical, I suppose.

A few years ago, Specialized advertised a new saddle with photos of nearly-naked women and fragments of nearly naked women (you can guess which fragments). After that, I wouldn't have had a Specialized saddle if you gave it to me.

Don't get me started.
