    BSNYV touches on women in biking. Pretty funny

    Yeah, I saw Snobby's post and the Adventure Cycling Blog post about it.
    I left a comment on AC site.

    I thought Snobby's entire post subject was pretty good, in effect it was 'we're not as special as we may like to think we are'.

    I rode around town yesterday. It was kind of cool so I wore tights, two layered thermals and a windbreaker. I was only going to the doctor, not to work, so I could dress like that. But if I didn't have that casual option I would have driven.
