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?
