Another is that biking while female is a great way to reduce your injury rate. (I was once politely and privately and justly corrected for using the term "cry like a little girl" in a bikies post. But may I be forgiven suggesting that we "cycle like a little girl"? Nah, didn't think so.) -- S. Rose Think diffident.
