Mats Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Funny question, yes I know. What would you do? Will you consider taking your bike to a female / lady bicycle mechanic?Since mechanical work is currently a man's job would you trust a female to work on your bike. If not, why not?
TheKaiser Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Sure, can't see why not if she has the skills.
Capricorn Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 don't care: as long as the work is good, why should gender matter. Bonus would be if she is hot. <insert crudity about bolts and torque>. But it really doesn't matter to me.Fact: women make better welders because they generally have steadier hands.

Daniel J Méssem Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 absolutely, studied engineering with some very bright mechanically minded girls, my perception has been changed forever although, to be honest, Ive never let anyone else near my kit...
SwissVan Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I've seen a some clown (male ones) mechanics in my trade, not many female mechanics but the one or two I have come across appeared to be very competent. There are 2 small LBS's close to where I stay and both have a female bike mechanic as well as male mechanics.

deanbean Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Absolutely. My one LBS is owened by a lady, and i have no problem with her working on my bike. When she hands it to her spectacularly ***-handed guy mech though, then I'd rather not have them working on my bike.
Guest notmyname Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 ja. i would, provided the knowledge, skill and passion is there. I now work on my own bikes because I've had work done by some real doosh bag male mechanics who couldn't give a rats ass.

TheV Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Firstly let me just say I don't have anyone work on my bikes, except for the occasional wheel related job. But what's more important to me is that the person actually own and ride bicycles, and have a passion for cycling. Too many times mechanics and shop assistants are just cheap labour and not actual cyclists. Male or Female, I don't care, as long as you ride.
