I never could figure out why they don't get no respect, they look alot better in spandex than guys.

It seems that the 80's was the hayday for woman with the Tour de France called Tour de Feminin and the Giro d' Italia, Jeannie Longo was the dominent force back then. The Tour is gone but the Giro still happens.

Woman now have plenty of races, mostly classics, one day races and they are big in Europe for cyclecross.

As you all know cycling is one of the dirtiest sports out there, so do we want to see juiced up women like in body building or ?????

I lived in Idaho when they had The Ore-Ida classic. A week-long race with long road races, time trials and crits.

At least in the press, all the women talked it up like it was a big deal, and it was fairly well attended, spectator-wise. All the top athletes showed up!

Why does that Queen's Jazz LP along with the girls bicycle race poster come to mind?
