Howdy girls, I'm upgrading my fiance's bike so she can do some cruisy XC trails with me instead of riding sealed bike paths around town. She is adventurous and likes taking on new challenges but is finding it a little difficult to get the advice she needs to take the next step and take on some...

So, what about it? A couple of the last posts that guys have made seem like they feel unwelcomed. Personally I don't mind the guys posting here - just as long as they are not obnoxious, are respectful and are female friendly. I think letting the guys post here is beneficial. I post on other...

The ladies at Australian Mountain Biking Clinics are on a mission to get more girls into mountain biking. In the recent Chix Survey we sent out asking what everyone wanted, there was an overwhelming request of women's skills weekends and also availability of childcare. We listened and here it is! ...

Hi all, I know this is not a trading area but my ladies bike will probably get lost in all the manliness of the for sale section. :p Anyways, since it's a ladies bike it makes perfect sense to me to say to any girls out there that are looking for a roady or know someone who is as short as I am...
