This thread troubles me somewhat - and the tags suggest I'm not alone.

It is pretty lame.

Full of really crap pictures of bad models on shit bikes.

There are some good pictures, and some good artwork with historical or other interest. But that's diluted by too many shite ones that are both tasteless, semi-pornographic, and irrelevant to cycling. And uninteresting, and pointless, and downright ugly - fuck, it's snowing! - and so on. This ain't a thread for people who are genuinely interested in women who ride bikes though, it's a thread for people who like to ogle nearly-naked women and stare at their big breasts. Might as well just go and buy a porn mag if that's all you're after.

I have to admit there is very little to look at (80% is photoshopped up below par 5 pint scrubber) with the odd great shot coming mostly from fiximatosis.
Shame because a beautiful person (man or woman) can make for some great/powerfull images.

The tags are very funny but it would worry me if they were written without the full quota of tounge and cheek, that would mean we got some seriously insecure folks rolling around out there

this thread is surely nothing but a complete pisstake? there is no real lechery and any objectification of women (and their bikes) here is wholly aimed at revealing the how pathetic our bike geekery has become. for me anyway.

Ah, the backlash has begun. About time too.

As I see it, there are several kinds of pix all jumbled up here, but mainly

1: Nice pix of actual cyclists (racing or otherwise) which show up the sport/pastime/mode-of-transport as attractive

2: Pix of lad-mag and sub-lad-mag totty astride various species of bicycle, which show up the sport/pastime/mode-of-transport as an attractive meme for advertisers of other 'lifestyle products', and occasionally actual cycling product.

3: Various grades of porn derivative of the above two

Each of the above easily sub-divides into contemporary and historic sections, but the motives and effects are essentially unchanged over more than a century. How you choose to react to the posts is up to you - many of the class 2 & 3 posts seem to lend themselves mainly to mockery of advertisers/photoshoot stylists/pornographers for attempting to invoke authentically sexy cycling related memes and failing due to a poor grasp of the underlying subject.
