Our sister site, SheCycles.com launched last year, the first magazine dedicated to everything about women’s cycling. From MTBing to road racing, track cycling to cyclo-cross and everything in-between, the site is a haven for women cyclists wanting advice from other women cyclists.
For reviews of all the latest women specific bikes, gear and clothing, news on organised rides and women’s ride events, as well as the lively SheCycles forum, plus much much more, visit the online bible for women’s cycling at www.SheCycles.com.
This is the first in our series of regular roundups of what’s been happening in the last week.
