I think that attitude still exists- as if you just aren't as SERIOUS about it as a male cyclist. Yeah, I'd like to see them keep up with Genevieve Jeanson. It's sort of like that at the gym and I'm sure this has happened to other women. You'll be using a piece of equipment, doing your sets and some guy comes up and asks, "are you using that" or "Can I do a set", as if you aren't even there. It's like what you're doing just isn't as important as what they do, and you should stop doing your routine for them! I usually reply, "Yes, you can as soon as I am finished with my sets." Sometimes they actually get pissed off! Like how dare you! I should mention this doesn't happen every single time, but it's happened enough over the years. most guys at the gym are perfectly nice and fine.
