my girlfriend has been riding now for about 8 months, and I have just built her up quite a nice new bike. She has received comments from cyclists about her bike every day since she has been riding it, including a 'nice bag' comment when using my bagaboo. I have NEVER been spoken to by another cyclist in my 2 years of riding in london. I am beginning to develop a sever and deep inferiority complex leading to an expensive habit of buying nicer and nicer bikes in the hope I may be noticed one day. If i don't it will lead to a sex change...
but yes, girls do get more hassle/attention than men, even when riding with their boyfriend.
