But after five years, something scary started to happen, in addition to the vandalism and

Image credit: Joe Plommer/ The Mule Bar Girls April may believe we need more girls on bikes , but there is no doubt that gender politics and cycling can be an explosive mix. When I wrote about podium girls—or the practice of bike races employing female cyclists to look pretty and kiss men —the response from our readers was mixed to say the least.
