Agreed,. We've made a lot of progress since 1974, but there is still a lot more progress to be made.

On the other hand, among the serious photos of serious women riders is a great shot of Beryl Burton showing the classic Beryl Burton asymmetrical hand positions on the bars. I don't think I have ever seen a photo of the amazing Ms. Burton on a serious ride where her hands weren't in those positions.
