It is a positive sign... women are the indicator species when it comes to cycling and when you see more of them riding and wrenching things are going well.

We have a very nice group of female mechanics at our co-op although there are few employed in the city's shops and one of my partners in the new shop is one of the best mechanics I know and she has worked very hard over the past 5-6 years to really expand her knowledge and skill base.

She runs another community shop on a part time basis as well.
