If I'm spending upwards of £70 on some clothing I don't want to be spending more money to make it fit. Can you imagine if the menz had to do that? There would be outrage!
And I tried to hassle Morvelo/The Ride Journal into doing their kit in a ladies size via the old twitters and they gave me the old "there isn't demand" schtick but they needed a silly small amount of females who said they would buy the kit to do a re-run and I surpassed that number easily in getting names. Nothing happened though.
And you'd hope people behind the "Women's Cycling" magazine would get behind/organise such a campaign but recent features have included "why & how you should ride your bike in the dark" and "should you ride your bike when you've got your period" oh, and then there's the double spread page EVERY EDITION about how your star sign influences your riding style.
But yes, rant aside, you make very salient points/ideas about maybe getting clubs involved - could maybe pester the Mule Bars Girls to get behind it too...thanks!
