If you're cool with showing off pics of your wife on the web while other cyclists look at her like a piece of meat, I won't stop you. No whining here--do what you want. And if you think that my entire post was only about you posting a pic of your wife with some cleavage, I just don't have the energy to explain it all the way. It's a lot bigger than that.

I'm just saying that maybe you should ask the "hot chicks" and "eye candy" why they aren't becoming roadies, and then ask them how much they like being called the above names... Maybe there's an actual REASON that there are so many fewer women roadies out there than men, and I do think that part of it is the environment we create for women.
