Hey All-
One of my Reps (a woman even- rare in the bike industry) sent me this email request, and it made me think of ya'll. I figured if she wanted a broad representation of female cyclists- none better than TE.
So if you have a moment and could answer these questions I'm sure she would be eternally grateful!
TIA!

Hi Ladies,

I have a special request. I am planning a series of “Ladies’ Appreciation Nights”. One of the main events will be a Family Feud style game show. This means that I need some survey answers to my questions!

Since this is for a Ladies’ Night, I would like to survey women bike riders. If you have a spare 2 minutes, can you please jot down the very first answer that pops into your head, and send this back to me? Remember, please do not overthink it, and only give me one answer for each question.

If you have some female bike rider friends that you would like to pass this along to, please feel free. (I need these answers back by Wednesday.) The responses I have the better, and I really appreciate your time.

Thanks a lot!
