Women and girls traditionally have been under-represented in bicycling. When they do get involved it empowers them and improves bicycling. Here are some links to people who are trying to change -- leveling the road so-to-speak!
Korean Women's cycling club
They go on rides every, out of Seoul, Monday and
Friday -- the husband's go to work and the kin's go to school. As it should be. The pace is causal, but the conversation is not and neither are the snacks. Long after you would have thought that their pouches were empty they kept pulling out food for subsequent stops. As it should be. 
Part of the days' camaraderie was a normal, large,
delectable Korean lunch. As it should be.
But the food didn't stop there; post-lunch the group
relocated about 50 meters away for desert and coffee. As it should be. The six hour outing involved about three hours of cycling. As it should be. |
