Lindsay - have you got a good collection of women's bike images we might use for the upcoming MBTA conference in Sooke BC? Im arranging the womens panel discussion - perhaps your work might be able to help? perhaps you might be interested in getting involved in the panel discussion development? AR

Why No Y?
Thank you NellyMTB-well said.
as a instructor for some years now, i can attest to many of your observations directly through experiencing teaching women's only camps.
Like you, my biology and physiology unfortunately does dictate my physical capabilities which frustrates me considerable at times but also means, like many women and smaller physiqued dudes, I learn to finesse a trail. But like you, i don't always want to ride last when i ride with the men. Fortunately that's becoming less of a problem as my skills increase :)
I just dont know why we all can't respect the differences and appreciate the similarities. Ultimately, does it even matter if we all just love to ride bikes?

RockShox Lyrik 2-step w/E2 alloy New Never Used
$550 CADBrand spankin new. never used. had to swap the fork to ride a different sponsor.
All mountain fork. Rides aweesome up and takes the hits on the way down.
here's some review from Hucknroll.
RockShox Lyrik 2-Step Air Fork $1049 MSRP
The guys from Rock Shox want you to get to the top of the hill. Quickly, if possible. But they're much more interested in getting you back down. With the Lyrik 2-Step Fork, you'll get up the hill just fine, and you'll come down like a formula one car being driven by a pissed-off cheetah in flames. The 2-Step system lowers the fork 45mm with the turn of a knob to give you more leverage and less bob while climbing. Extending the fork gives you 160mm of plush travel and a front end stiffer than the fine for passing a stopped school bus.
Bottom Line: Controlled fury.
