Why a women's forum?

ROTFL!
the fact is, you have more bikes than I do and I'm jealous. Peope shouldn't be able to list more than 3 bikes so that other people don't get their hearts broken.

i think people shouldn't be allowed to list more than two bikes, so I don't feel inadequate.

[Catrin]

Well, certainly not more than two STEEL bikes so my bikes don't get jealous

[Owlie]

See, I don't think anyone should be allowed to list more than one entry-level bike because I might feel inadequate. So there.

I'm glad we're not really like that.

I have only had good experiences with female oriented forms, so I immediately signed up when I found this one - I found it by accident when goggling something else.

Lets face it, we live in a world where 90% of laundry detergent commercials feature women, and 95% of sport-related commercials feature men. I don't think that men really relate to that kind of life experience, or even think about it. I don't think they understand that they get to be default gender, and we get to be represented as the "token chick" in most things. Or how men's sports/physical activities are held in much higher esteem. You might think that kind of thing dosen't matter when asking a question about internal hub shifters, but that attitude does come out in subtle ways.

In a form about physical activity, it's nice to have a like-minded, judgment-free group of people to talk to. I would much rather ask questions here than bikeforms, though I do do enjoy lurking there and reading back-post of interest.

I don't like to think of myself as either "girly-girl" or "practical" (as disturbing as it is to make those two options opposites); because I'm a quite a mix of both.

It's a really nice community here.

Hey, Bethany, we can be harmlessly obnoxious, too. Just hang around a bit. And welcome.

As for listing bikes, I'm fighting the urge to go buy a new Cannondale just to impress you people. Sheesh.

Although I could use a new bike. I only have the '07 Ruby Comp and a 16-year-old steel-frame Palomar mtb. That thing weighs 37 lbs with my tool kit and water bottles!

Dang it. I do love the carbon, but I'm not crazy about the paint job.

We both still only have 1 butt.
