Don’t be angry. Where I live most women who ride bikes (and there are a lot of them) wear coordinated clothing in purples and pinks and what have you. Matching goggles and shoes in some cases. I’m not kidding. Oh, and I regularly ride with a woman who rides in makeup.
They are generally good riders, too. I shared a lift with a couple (as in romantically involved male and female combination) the lady was reassuring the dude that they’d only do the fun trails and nothing too difficult. In the next breath she told him that she’d be riding with her friends at the weekend and it would be too challenging for him. She was also dressed in coordinating girly colours.
Why aren’t girls who ride allowed to wear such colours? Or are they? Do the the women who dress this way annoy other riders? Or is it assumed that they are being victimized? Perhaps one of the reasons more women don’t ride mtb in the UK is because there are so many mard arses involved in the pastime.
no offence intended by the insult. It is a question I’ve genuinely pondered.
I am not a troll
