    Hey, I just finished reading this and was about to post it!

    I recently started following some female pro cyclists and teams on twitter. I started with Alison Tetrick (thanks to Road ID for putting her in their ads last year) and Specialized-lululemon, and chose others based on who they follow.

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    Great article.
    Love seeing Evie Stevens on the cover... ABRHS class of 2001.
    She was in a few classes with my son. What the hell is wrong with my kids? .

    on the subject of marketing women athletes based on their looks instead of talent, there's this article:

    I also began following women's cycling last year last year with Team Vera Bradley and now with Specialized-lululemon. That said all my following is through Twitter because of lack of coverage. I did follow one woman years ago, Kristen Armstrong because of the golds that she got if you call it follow. I guess the better word is aware of her since social media was not around then.
