I am the Editor/Owner of shePedals.

Yes I put my own money into it. How else does one start a business? Borrow from the bank and owe interest? I have been a cyclist for over 20 years and wanted to try to create something for a very large population of women who are as 'addicted' to two wheels as I am.

WCM and LCM, were primarily focused on racing. The pro peloton (female) cannot be more than several hundred around the world, and even the big races in the US only draw 120 women at a time at the most. We are working on a race oriented site, but its goal is to give sponsors of our pro teams publicity so that that population with its great and up and coming riders may flourish. But providing full coverage of the peloton is not our primary goal.

We at shePedals love women's racing, but there are many more interesting stories behind the faces in the peloton as well as in the stories and achievements of women who commute, tour and run bike related businesses to name a few. Think about it: Lance wouldn't be "Lance" if he didn't have his story to tell. He would most likely be a great cyclist, but that would be it.

And for the naysayers out there. We are working on ISSUE 4! Our national distribution has increased 400% over the past 2 issues and the Barnes and Noble chain is beginning to carry the magazine. We have had some advertising and are working on some mutually beneficial relationships with several large companies!

The only way women's cycling, in all forms, will grow is for all of you to support it!
