I hope the cops get that low life mongrel and jump on him/her with hobnailed boots.
Glad to read she came through without any major injuries.

Fast forward is your friend Some of what she had to say about training with her coach , crank selection, the crash, recovery, the mess her life had previously was interesting... The scenery was quite pleasant

American accents are the aural equivalent of yellow teeth / bad breath / chain smoking, imho. Ok, so FFWD with the sound down.
Kym All manner of half finished projects and a bit of randonneuring I used to be tech-savvy. Now I'm just tech-weary.

If you are firing a shot at me, the picture is a comment from blogger Bikeyface giving a female perspective on "cycling chic" - exactly what the OP was about. It may be a bit too subtle for some. You could read more about it here.

There's chic, and then there's chick. I'll leave it up to you what you think the focus of this thread is.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.

I was going to buy a fast, stylish bike, but I looked in the mirror & thought " you're not fooling anyone, you know"

A lot of people might say "whack job"...but all I got out of that video was someone who loved cycling and loved doing what he does..regardless of others in a way I envy him...maybe not all the way, but in a little way refreshing vid il padrone...thanks
