well cycling, especially of the fixed gear variety, tends to be male dominated, with the women who do it being almost invisible...So it would've been nice to see some recognition, i still loved it and thought it was great, but would have liked to see some of the girls in the outtakes make it to the feature. The fact that you didn't even notice that it was all guys says something about how pervasive the male domination of this scene is.
