Ooh, I wish I'd seen this thread earlier so I could have jumped on the band wagon. Flippie, I have to fully agree with you here. I work for a living and cycling is for fun and enjoyment, if you want to do it for money, race pro!!
tell me about it - i was totally freaked out. and to make matters worse this dude didnt want to hear my troubles. he was yelling at me about littering. i was so upset i nearly started crying Damn, I wish i could have been there to see this
No You and I cannot be the same ww if you are 14% BF then you are in serious trouble. a woman is not meant to be below 20% go see a dietician now Hmmm, maybe that's why I keep getting to a level of form and then getting sick But seriously, it's not like I starve myself
On my side honestly, I prefer bib shorts anyday, especially when racing as the strap on the stomach causes me issues....so I just suffer the consequences when needing a pee.
I think like Zoo said, it really is a personal thing....she'll have to find out what she prefers.
But maybe start with no bib as she can then use them in spinnign if she doesn't like them ont he bike!!
Thing is the tubbies only ever get used for racing and you aren't as careful where you put your bike when you race....We sometimes take a few extra risk and tighter corners etc!! so there may be more than just the fact of air pressure that creates more punctures!!! You punctured Sunday Spidey
BB I think they take what they can get, there is very few sponsors for the ladies, especially full pro sponsors. unfortunately with Anriette I can't see Robyn's role changing much but let's wait and see. The rest of the girls will be a slavehorse but who isn't when you are just starting out in the pro teams?? It's a good start for Joann and An-Li I think and if they make a few breaks etc etc then they could get more sponsorship offers next year. They'll learn a lot next year....go girls!!
