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?: I've been riding almost eight years. First, it was just fitness, then I did some bike tours. The commuting and errands have been in the last 3 years. I rode a bit in grad school and when I was in my thirties; I considered 10 miles a long ride then! I rode a lot as a kid.

what type of bike(s) do you have?: I have a carbon road bike, a steel hybrid, and a full suspension mountain bike

do you notice more females on bikes in recent years than before?: Yes!!

do you notice more focus on females who bike in the media recently?:maybe a little, particularly in the local press

do you think there are female specific concerns in cycling? what would they be? (buying appropriate bike/equipment, stigma, safety): Keep making more women specific bikes and components. More choice for smaller women. More clothing for a wide variety of sizes. Help with mechanics.

general comments and ideas: What kind of class is this for?

hey, sorry for the late response. it's for a feminist action class.
