Womens’ VeloNews

About WCM:

Womens Cycling Magazine… its about time! Coming this spring taking subscriptions now.

The header on the subscription page includes “Lifestyle + Commuting + Repair + City Spotlight”, but so far the blog at least has been nothing but all racer girl all the time. Admittedly, they only launched the blog on March 22, and I figured eventually they’d start talking about something other than asking women racers dumb questions and pasting in race results from spreadsheets. Nope. It’s Bicycling 10 years ago. I showed it to L, my bike commuting wife, who said “Yuck.” Disappointing.

Update: for contrast, see That’s How I Roll, from the BUST blog:

Best of all, there are more female riders than ever. If you’re like me, though, you’re not a spandex-wearing type of lady. Luckily, the cycle chic movement has finally hit the United States…The Europeans have known what’s up for a long time, but here in the U.S., cycling is finally developing a following– and some fashion sense– outside the realm of athletics. Cycle chic even has its own Wikipedia page, defining it as ‘the culture of cycling in fashionable clothes…cycling is an everyday transport choice and many cyclists choose to wear their regular clothes, as opposed to outfits generally associated with cycle sport, such as bicycle shorts, gloves and shoes.’
