    Sundial, vents are fine.

    Do you think the safety issue/lack of good places to ride is more of an issue for the women than the men?

    Yes. The shoulders that I have ridden on are sometimes a foot or less. I have to ride during low traffic periods and I ride defensively as well.

    We have a great state park, Old Davidsonville, that won state park of the year. There is not one mtb trail in the whole park. I use the hiking trails to ride on.

    Also, there are those idiots that might take advantage of grabbing a female cyclist and heading for the hills to do who knows what. It almost happened to a cyclist friend of mine--in front of her male cyclists.
