If you ask me, I’d rather be on a leisurely cruise down the beach boardwalk on a warm sunny day! But here at the office, my goal is to get as many women as possible out there on a bike (with a helmet, please ladies!) and to form a supportive network for female cyclists. Let me know what else we can do. Join the Ride Society online and be a part of our community.

Catching Up with the Team: The Women of T-Mobile

I had the chance to ask some of the world’s best cyclists about anything I wanted to, and I chose to not ask them about riding!! I know, I know, it seems I may have blown my chance to find out how they got so fast and perhaps get some insight into how I can further my own paltry skills… At the time, finding out about what makes them tick and what they’d be doing if not for riding professionally… »

It is the pick of the year in the bike category and received special attention for its geometry, component spec, and overall value.
