Avid bike watcher Subpar bike rider "Chicanes always, even in the mud" Kenny Werner

Why does visibility of women’s cycling matter?🚴‍♀️✨ In march i shared a survey as part of a school project focusing on the differences in visibility and media coverage of men’s and women’s cycling, and what they can mean for those watching 👀 Here are some of the results⬇️

What a great moment. Antonia Niedermaier congratulates Kasia Niewiadoma straight after her victory on Mont Ventoux. The two of them embrace, overjoyed, on the tarmac in the finish area. You just have to love cycling! 😍 #TDFF2026

Along with being one of the greatest racers of all time, Italian cycling champion Gino Bartali carried forged exit visas hidden in his handlebars and seat to Jews in hiding during WWII, & ultimately helped save an estimated 800 Jews from the Nazis. Happy #BicycleBirthday, Gino! July 18 (1914-2000)

zverev road to success go to trial for assaulting your partner and settle out of court sue journalist who profiled woman you assaulted say in a conference that shes after your money lose three gs finals to two better player those two players out of tournament need five sets against world number 14😍

I can’t get over how ridiculous the difference in price money is between men and women. This is in accordance with UCI guidelines for a 1.1 race this weekend. For the women, even winning it’s probably not even enough to buy the fuel necessary for the team cars/bus 🙄

The price money for a 1.1 race. The female winner wil get €560, the male winner get €5785

Gino Bartali won the Tour de France twice. But his greatest achievement: he hid false identity papers inside his bike frame and cycled thousands of km across Nazi-occupied Italy, saving over 800 Jews. He never spoke about it publicly, saying "Good is done but not said."

It’s getting stupid now How can people not understand they shouldn’t lean over the barrier or face the wrong way? It’s incredibly unsafe for the riders and a real shame for the race It’s just going to lead to more and more separation from the road and probably more ticketing for road races

The rate at which people are leaving the Muur after the men came past is so annoying Most of them spend all day waiting to miss identify riders and drink beer but can’t afford an extra hour for the women’s race?

I would like to thank BC for not sending anyone to cyclocross Worlds and because of that massive expense it makes perfect sense to stop sending out physical membership cards, unless I pay an extra £30 on top of the £52 I already pay So glad that my extra money goes to supporting no one
