Timely topic. I went to the Cycle Surgery womens' evening at Strype Street last Thursday and was impressed at the number of women who turned up. The cupcakes and alcohol were a welcome surprise. CS were offering discounts on bike and running gear too.
They had sessions on puncture repair and general bike maintenance which was well received. My best bit was the female representative from Trek. She talked about bike fit, saddles, shorts and ladybits. I could see it was a revelation to some of the women there, some of whom turned out to be riding bikes that were the wrong size.
We need someone like her in all bike shops, or at least in one or two shops that women know they can go to for help/suggestion/advice.
Nhatt - go for it.
