1. I do cycle. (Until I crashed and cracked the frame. Will be looking for a new bike in the spring.)
2. I asked Renata over 2 years ago if I was OK to participate in the forums.
3. Other than these few posts I doubt I have posted more than a few times in the past 2 years.
3. Because of a medical issue I do wear sports bras when I cycle and run. I was shopping for a new bra and asked if she could recommend a few. I chose the Shock Absorber Run Sports bra.
Don, you may be a terrific guy, and I bear you no ill-will. But your post does not answer my question. Cycling and needing a bra are not reasons for a guy to join a womens forum. Thank you, Oak, for a thoughtful and well-written post on the subject. To add to it - there are some legitimate reasons for a guy to join a womens forum, and there are some pretty creepy reasons. Unfortunately, we've seen both.

Struggling back on topic, and I'll try to stay there: I've done sooo little reading recently because of our kitchen remodeling. But I've been reading this thread and noting down tips. I'm looking forward to a hot date with an online bookstore in a week or two, armed with recommendations ;-)
