Same things as guys, really. My main problem is *****hole drivers; men encounter just as many of those (maybe more since drivers, I think, are more likely to be aggressive with a male rider).
What about skirts? If you want to ride in a skirt, get a step-through frame.
and men harrasing them?
Never been harrased on my bike because of my gender. Not once. It's mostly the articulate disputes regarding the fine points of cyclists' lane position.
She wants a good bike with gears, step-through or slanted TT, comfortability, and utility options. Also one of the things she is determined to do is somehow carry her surfboard 6miles to the beach on a bike. Does anyone have any ideas for this?
Xtracycle or trailer.
