Hey Ladies! What are your biggest pet peeves as a woman cyclist?

Specifically what behaviors do you feel subjected to, especially those of other cyclists, that annoy/irritate/frighten you that you feel you disproportionately experience as a direct result of your gender identity.

I am exploring this as a possible topic for an upcoming video education piece. So hit me.

Feel free to send me your thoughts in an email (jason@activetrans.org) if you don't feel like sharing with the group.

Thanks all!

As to the "hey men" thread--I am 99% certain it was not meant to be taken seriously. Follow h' around here for a while and you will see he has an interesting sense of humour. :-)

I have been following the chainling for over a year. I get the humor. Just because i "get it" doesn't mean I approve of it or think it's useful.

The thing about being a hegemon in some context is that no one has to give you something - you just take it, or assume everything is yours.

I think the "alternate" thread is actually a light hearted (read diplomatic) attempt by h' to clear this one out of unsolicited voices by giving those individuals someplace else to go and grouse. I'm pretty sure he's on your side, as am I.
