Call for female cyclists

I'm writing an article for an independent magazine about female cyclists and would like to get some input and maybe an interview from some women on the forum.
Stuff like - what do you ride? why do you ride? do you feel that male cyclists don't take you seriously? what competitions/social events related to cycling do you take part in?...

If you're interested then send me a message on here.

Also if anyone knows of any female cycling groups etc. let me know

Cheers

I suppose that depends on who you are, what the magazine is, etc. I wouldn't mind answering some but would want approval of copy.

I'm feeling like a stuck record at the moment.

My wife belongs to a ladies cycling club in West Kent - you might want to contact them via this link? There are quite a mixture in the club from reasonable road and track racers; commuters who like a pootle; to single track and DH mountainbike (well, they are just getting this up and running), as well as organising their own sportive this weekend and a cycle to Paris in a month.

Oh, and I cycle too, but not with a club - mainly commuting. Just had to say that to reassure myself that I do exist as a separate entity, as I keep posting about my wife...

Sounds good. I'm in.

ah yeah thats my group. Sorry, very slow off the mark! How the blazes does anyone know about it?! As in, it's a great thing but I've been really bad at updating it as it needs merging with about fifty other things I'm struggling to keep up.

Also, yeah I'm in (think I said this in the other thread)!

count me in as well.

Hi Ladies, I know it's been a while (day job commitments) but I'm finally finishing off this article and would love to get some input. I figured that the quickest and easiest way to do this was to post the questions on here and you can either reply with your answers on the forum or email them to me at zleadleywatkins@hotmail.co.uk . You don't have to answer all of them and you can remain anonymous but it would be nice to put a name, age, location and bike with the comments.

The article is about how I got into cycling myself, recent statistics on female cyclists and how I feel that we are under represented in the cycling world but that some women are starting to push down these barriers. Thanx again for all your help.

1) Why do you ride/cycle? (hobby/get fit/commute/compete/relax/fun...)
2) Do you see yourself as a 'cyclist' or a 'female cyclist'? and what does this mean to you?
3) Do others see you as a 'cyclist' or a 'female cyclist'? (include positive/negative examples)
4) What is your response to the press coverage of the 'rising' number of deaths of female cyclists?
