Following the [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/oh-dear-danny-macaskill-please-dont-do-the-playboy-mansion-thing- ]Oh dear Danny Macaskill - please don't do the Playboy Mansion thing[/url]
thread I saw this:

Looks like STW are getting a bit of a pounding for it though judging by the comments on road.cc and the Evans facebook page which picked it up:

Good on them I say!
I like Danny. But it's hard enough getting women into cycling (and getting them accepted by the male egos there) without this kind of dated "mags lad" video.
Read the breathless drooling in mainstream rags like the Record or the Mirror: [i]"ride of his life"[/i], [i]"eye candy"[/i], [i]"saucy stunners"[/i], [i]"scantily-clad models"[/i], [i]"buxom beauties"[/i], [i]"every male’s fantasy"[/i] etc etc ...
... pathetic out-of-date misogyny and I'm glad Singletrack have taken the higher horse on this one.
Well done.
