    Yesterday's NPR story on female Olympic cyclists

    Anybody else hear this story yesterday on All Things Considered? It's worth a listen if you didn't. I appreciate that NPR chose to do a story on women, rather than men, competing in two Olympic events that are somewhat less high-profile than, say, swimming or gymnastics.

    It was a good story, heard it on my way home from work.

    Cheers to NPR for having a story on women athletes, especially when the sport is dominated by the other sex.

    I hadn't even kept up to the point of knowing there was an Olympic-level mountain biking event, but I was stoked to read about it. Also, I clicked on this link from the TE Facebook and was surprised to see it on NPR, not some local newspaper.

    So awesome!!

    I enjoyed it too. Stayed in the parking lot at the bank to hear the end.
