Do you have a question for Specialized Women's Product Team?

My, what a friendly welcome. Just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.... I'll be R feels the same.

Hey All, I am sorry if I got off on a wrong foot here. As a piece of background, I have been following this forum for almost a year and find the dialogue VERY engaging. However, I have struggled wanting to jump in on a lot of the discussions because I didn't want to seem like I was just pushing my agenda or products. I thought the best way to start on this forum was to introduce myself and get any questions and comments from you on how I can participate in the conversation from a brand and product perspective. If this is not the place for it, I totally understand but really I am trying to talk and learn about why you cycle and what your cycling interests are. Thanks. R

Hey, R. No worries. Just jump in. Be yourself. Share your bike life like the rest of us do. If there's a reason to mention what you do, go ahead. You were just trying to be helpful. Nothing wrong with that.

Hi Rachael!

Welcome to TE. Do jump into the different forums... I mean, after all - you are a woman that cycles. I think you "get it" about not being too commercial, but you do have an opinion as a cyclist and folks (in whatever subject the thread is in) might be interested in hearing it.

Make some friends, join some folks that are local to you for a ride... enjoy!

p.s. there are some specialized riders here (me for one) so once folks get to know you, you might be able to post a fun poll or something.

Yeh, that is what I was trying to say. Just be yourself. And WELCOME!! Participate as all of us do, first as a women who cycles, second as an employee of specialized. Maybe you can use a link in your sig. file to the specialized site, but keep the main dialogue here about your passion for cycling.

Hey Rachael,
Welcome to the boards! I also joined the facebook group
Glad to have you finally joining in. I love what Specialized does for women(I want to work for them b/c of that actually!). From the products, to the demo reps and diva nights at shops, you gals are very great at engaging women into cycling.

That is awesome, thanks for being a part of the facebook group! Have you seen our job boards?

I saw no problem with the OP. It's a chance to get info directly from someone who represents the company, similar to asking Susan questions about TE. And Rachael is looking for general cycling questions, not just Specialized-specific things.

I think I might have some questions about the different saddles. I just need to get my brain to formulate something more specific than "will I like one of them?"

Welcome! I'm new too and love reading the posts. I have learned so much. I ride a Cannondale but wear almost all Specialized stuff. Silly, I know but I love what Specialized does for women. Have been glancing at the 2010 Specialized Riata shoes that support the Susan Komen Foundation.

I thought you were perfectly polite and responsive to the admin's request to give a little more info. I'm glad you're trying to get good information out to women cyclists. Welcome to TE!

That's awesome! The Riata were my first pair of clipless shoes! I used them on a road bike and then started mountain biking in them. I upgraded a few years ago, but kept them for so long as my back-up pair.
