    I agree with Emily. This reminds me of when I was mountain biking with a group of guys regularly while I lived in El Paso (talk about macho country!). I led several rides after a while, and one of the guys (and older gent) gave me a sticker that said, "Girls Kick ***". It was a badge of honor. I put it on my bike.

    If I were younger and fitter, I was so totally wear this.

    I'm not intimidated by my bike. I'm not afraid of it. I work hard and put the time in. I give it my all. I'm just not a fast rider. That doesn't mean my efforts or passion are any less real or valid than someone whose physiology enables them to ride faster.

    When I bring my A-game, I can drop some of the fast club guys. I love it. It makes me feel strong and confident (and, like in the case with Emily, get a lot of compliments afterward from the more confident guys whose egos weren't shattered). However, I am SURE that if I were to wear that jersey on a ride with guys, they would put me through a world of pain just to prove that I don't deserve to be wearing it. Or even if they don't, I would be too nervous, feeling like I had something to prove, that I wouldn't be able to really "bring it". So, however much I do enjoy dropping the guys (or at least making them suffer in the chase), I don't think I could ever wear that jersey . . .

    I drop boys so I can pick them up.





    Wish I had a better pick-up line than "Is that a hand pump in your pants, or are you happy to see me?"

    Wah-waaaaahhhhhh.

    I don't think I'd actually wear it, but I like the bravado and bluster it signifies. It's so different from the traditional womens role of being rational and sensitive and careful and caring and polite, and I like having something that caters to the side of me that, once in a while, will go insanely competitive and near bust a vein trying to drop someone
    Sometime it's just fun to be a bit macho.
    Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

    I thought I was doing pretty well on one ride, and then got passed by a little old lady in a flowered dress and wearing a hat. On a fixed-speed.

    The only people I pass are small children with training wheels, and that's because they have parental units holding onto the kids with a death grip while they walk next to the bikes.

    My girlfriend that I ride mountain bikes with and I are pretty darn slow and get passed all the time by both guys and gals, but this week we passed two guys going uphill. That felt really, really good!

    Sometimes you do go insane but more often it is just a lot of fun and a conversation starter for sure. Group of girls riding with idropboys jerseys is awesome. Just got all the gear in stock so look for more girls around with the gear

    Could you post photos of the actual jerseys on your site? I'd love to see what they look like for real. Thanks!

    Absolutely!! you have your game on when wearing the gear. It's my site and it's a lot of fun. Most guys get a kick out of it and some are aggressive.
