Has coddling tendencies.
OP - You're probably a cool guy and all, and no doubt your interest in finding a female cyclist in your area is for strictly platonic purposes, but I'm afraid you stepped into shark infested waters here. One wrong move and you're shark crap. If you want to prove your sincerity, you'll stick around and find a way to swim back to shore.

boy am I glad I checked my BF thread before I left to go home...
listen, for all of you out there who are juvenile, nosey, and/or just smart asses, the reason why I asked is because I was talking to a good friend of mine about getting into riding...she said she thought about it, but felt that it was a male dominated sport and didnt want to be subject to all that same b**s**t some guys dish out. I told her that I would get on this "wonderful site called BF" and ask the SO HELPFUL road biking community if there were any female riders in the area....

^ Who wants to start the apology train?
In all fairness purefreedom, you should have stated your intent in the original post.
Answer: Every geographical region is different. Some places are better than others for supporting the cycling community, and for women cyclists specifically. There's quite a few websites that discuss many of those issues. One of them is www.velogirls.com. Hopefully, one of the fine lady cyclists reading this will post or PM you with additional information.

If the OP intentions were honourable then I'd be glad to help his friend by introducing her to my wife, any of the other 3 or so women we ride with regularly, or the women's team at my club.
