Super cool women doing neat things on bikes

Hi

Found this. The video sucks a bit but the blonde girl (in white) trick at the beginning ofthe video is funny:

Leontien van Moorsel best female cyclist to come out of the Netherlands ever.

**Ok and BTW beautiful ladies for you guys in this video (sound in Dutch except "I want to ride my bicycle" by... Queen of course!):

An excellent piece on Beryl Burton on the Cycling Weekly site;

well done to Emma Pooley.

Indeed. Nicole Cooke second too. A great day for British women.

Surprised to see that Paola Pezzo hasn't had a mention yet - one of the best cross country riders ever, 2 times Olympic champion

Multiple World champion, European Champion and World Cup winner.

Used to insist on having a full length zip on her Italian team jersey, and got more publicity for the sport than anyone else as a result. Used to model Northwave shoes back in the day - I always remember those adverts in MBUK.... made much more of an impact on me as an impressionable youth than wearing a pirahna round your neck...

Excellent. I had no time to follow this but all the nicer to discover it later.

well done Emma Pooley.

I also like the fact that Cycling Weekly has been showing a video ad for a while now on its website - not just women realted stories - for Veet. The tag line "What beauty feels like" is perhaps not the most appropriate.

"Dinky" Wilson - allround cycling fiend, and good person. Rides a recumbent everywhere, and does a Dunwich Dynamo "double", most years. She does a recee, and puts out candle to help light the way there, then does the DD proper, mopping up lost stragglers. And....., she used to race quite a bit on her Ratcatcher, and was British Women's Champion (recumbents) in one year.

Emma Pooley strikes again.

well done Emma Pooley

How is Denise?
She always lapped me at the Eastway when the Tuesday Tens were held there. I think that's a picture of here riding there on what will now be part of the Velodrome.

I also remember her on the DD, lying in her the recumbent with the red glow of a fag in the dark....

She's also in something like 3 bands.

Total Legend.

@ Peter Carter and Nhatt:

Just spoke to Dinky right now. She's doing well, and as Nhatt says, she's in 3 bands. ;)

well done Emma Pooley

national RR champion.

Oh, did she beat NC? I wasn't following it.

What's going on with NC? She's had so much bad luck in the last year or two.

Just looked up the report:

http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/british-road-championships-ne/elite-womens-road-race/results

Race shortened to 48k? That's hardly a racing distance. Well done to Emma Pooley nonetheless.

Rapha cafe has it recorded - or at least what was televised if anyone wants to see it.. come on by.

Harriet Fell (Sheldon Brown's missus) has some pretty incredible achievements on and off a bike, but her account of the 1975 Paris-Brest-Paris is nothing short of inspirational.
