Super cool women doing neat things on bikes

In last week's Comic, there's a great article about Billie Fleming, who set a women's annual mileage record of 29,603.7 miles in 1938. She's just turned 100. Happy centenary!

Is there a list of female cycling blogs on this forum anywhere? I need to get the bug for cycling again and think reading some may help...

Don't think so. Good idea though. Start a thread maybe?

Have a look at www.crazyguyonabike.com, there's lots of journals from women who've cycled all over the world.

Here's one from the back of a tandem. It is mainly photos of food though:

Good article.

Not quite on a bike but some of you might be interested. (Thanks Schickles)

This may be of interest: Stefania Baldi interview
The blog doesnt have a planned direction nor is it an attempt at fame/making money, merely a scrapbook that other people might find interesting as I didnt get on with Pintrest. Also, I'm no literary genius and there are plenty of better written blogs out there, but I think Stefania comes across very passionately, hence sharing in this thread.

does anyone have a copy of nicole cook's last book? i'd love to read it.

she isn't famous, but my sister recently secured a podium finish in stage 1 of the tour de bintan (in singapore, where she lives). so proud!

Cool.

Yep got a copy of Nicole Cookes book you can borrow, do you track on Sundays? I'm a massive fan of Nichole Cooke and it's a great read. She's brilliant at recounting races and the tactics. Warning though > If you don't already, you may have a realisation that Cycling is/was run by wankers..

yes - that would be brilliant, thank you! see you sunday

I posted about Sue Abbott elsewhere (helmet thread) as am still in awe after having met her the other evening. She's super cool and has super cool hair. No wonder she refuses to wear a helmet in Oz and prefers getting arrested.

For a secondly, I thought you misspelt Britain, then momentarily trying to figure out when was it that sunny recently.

Excellent going, she look she can kill!
