A response to Winnipeg CycleChick's excellent and useful
Dos for Women on Bikes.
#1 – Love thy brotherYou can
chick us. We can take it.
Most of us can.
Well, some of us.
A few egalitarian souls, maybe.
OK this is a hard one. Brothers, take heed of #5.
Bobby Riggs about to get chicked by Billie Jean King in 1973#2 – Wear what you loveRight on! (Sorry, still stuck in the
seventies for a minute.) Even if it's
Rapha. Just don't be a
fashion victim.
Pretty in pink?#3 – Go with the FlowThe only thing I can offer here is this, courtesy my stream-of-unselfconsciousness:
Men: Don't be afraid of a little blood. Chances are your woman won't be in the mood for romance during her special time of the month, but if she is, go with the flow and Harden the Fuck Up. (See #5. I have a feeling that one is going to be popular.)
The Duke would do it#4 – Go CommandoOr just go
all the way.
#5– Harden the Fuck UpFuck yeah.
Also, real men aren't worried if stripes make them look fat#6 – Ride with MenOr with the right women (see #1).
pic from here#7 – Never underestimate the Power of a Good SaddleOr you could just Harden the Fu— no, she's right.
#8 – Know Thy BikeAgreed.
Learn the basics.
#9 – Wear a HelmetThat depends how seriously you're taking #5. Personally I've done this

and still don't wear a
helmet. Then again, I don't race.
Not officially.#10 – Master the Nature Break
