Honestly, I've never given a thought to how I look when cycling, and have never even heard it discussed outside this forum.

that link that CC posted a week or so ago claimed that the #1 reason women don't commute is because we don't want to get to work sweaty; with hair being a close second.

I agree, actually. I've done my share of getting to work sweaty, and without a shower (just trying to clean up in the bathroom sink) I stuck out like a sore thumb even in a pretty relaxed business environment.

Not quite sure what that has to do with feminism though... do you think men are more tolerant of other men being sweaty in a business environment, than they are of women?
