Wow,

all great feedback. Thank you all for your feedback.

Trying to touch upon everyones comments..


Many women that are cyclist forget what it was like to start out, with zero clue about what to ask or who to ask. Everyone of my topics are things that have come up at the shop I manage in North Carolina.

Yes, women do ask about riding with their period. I also believe information came from that, like the Diva Cup, that many women don't know. As a seasoned riders, we forget.. we forget fears we had, or maybe never had because we are more adventurous.

The site is provided as informational to all. There are facts and yes, there are tongue in cheek jokes but not mean to be harsh or rude.. that is who I am, and to keep the blog personal or not formal.. that is how it is I guess.

When the blog first started I had a great about me feature and I will be linking it in the "about" page, thank you for that comment as well.

Quickly for you all.. I've worked in the bike industry for 10 years, mainly on the retailer front, but also as a mechanic for pro teams, at Cane Creek Cycling and a leader for a couple bike advocate groups. Mainly my riding consist of commuting and mountain biking, but raced road, cyclocross and mountain through the years. I believe bikes can make a difference and that is why I am spending my time writing/running Bike Shop Girl.

Blanket suggestions can always be sent by email girly@bikeshopgirl.com.

I think this site is needed, just like this forum is needed. The popularity of women riding bikes is growing and that needs to continue to happen and women need to feel happy/safe/strong when riding their bike to continue.


Thanks again!
