A reason I like visiting places like Lovely Bicycle (today's post is quite a propos: http://tinyurl.com/4xwsdyk) Speaking of the term the wife, is it anything like the hubby? which in places like Yelp you'll find quite often, which seems more to be a kind of post-feminist Gen-Y thing. What male cyclist with a female partner doesn't want to get her more into cycling? Making a place more inclusive, either online, or at the bikeshop or on the road, can only help. TSW On Apr 4, 1:24 pm, Liesl lchat...@smm.org wrote: Good to hear from Rivendell Chicas. As an avid-reader-but-seldom- poster of the RBW Owners Bunch, I often lament that there is such a limited involvement from women (myself sadly included). Anne, yours is one of the few women's voices I see regularly, and so it's been sad to see that no one has responded to your post. When I read frequent references to things like the wife, while I don't assume it is meant to be a put-down, it does contribute to making me feel that I am entering a male space. It's so often used when men are choosing and buying bikes for their women... I have loved few things more than learning about bike design, parts, and outfitting myself so that I can ride all year round here in Minnesota. What an adventure of the heart, spirit, and body. So, perhaps there are folks out there who have the opposite problem of big guys' bikes with their double top tubes and diagatubes and so forth, that seek recommendations for the little bikes, ones that are in the 48 to 52 cm range. For example, I've struggled with saddle bag/ rack combinations for bikes with not much room between the saddle and the fender! I found that Mark's Rack works rwonderfully because its height and distance from the saddle are infinitely adjustable. I've used it with my old Baggins Adam (the just-smaller-than-the-Hoss for you old timers). Also, at a recent--and really enjoyable--visit to Riv HQ, the women's small WoolyWarm vest and button-up, which I believe at one time were boasted in the ever memorable e-less catalog to be appropriate for Baffin Island, fits a 5'2, slightly plump, 50+ year old woman, and the little Hunq is a blast for the same sized/aged person. Maybe I'll even go crazy and post pictures of my 2006 red 50cm Saluki and my 2009 clear-coat Proto Bleriot set up as a poor woman's Quickbeam.
