Sent them a message telling them what I thought!

I used their complaint form... let's see if I ever get an answer!

EDIT: for the benefit of newcomers to this thread who click on the link and are puzzled by the lack of any reference to 'Birds on Bikes' - there was a women's only ride called that, but after complaints from people by direct email and via facebook, the organisers changed the name of their 40 mile ride.

They have a facebook page:

Could they really not have used a bit more imagination? I like the name Pat "5mph" came up with for her women-only rides: Belles on Bikes.

Lasses in Lycra?

You'd have thought that someone, somewhere along the line would have pointed out the potential pitfall of using such a descriptor for a ride title though.

I bet whomever it was is quietly thinking to themselves "I told you!"

Well, I know that all those times I rode 100miles my vagina imploded... And of course I am unable to pay attention to any website that is not entirely mauve and pink...
