The 2016 edition.

It’s hard to calculate the amount of sexism women encounter within the cycling industry, since so much of it happens at a personal level or via microaggressions that we’re taught to brush off or blame ourselves for. But we can keep track of the things that happen on a larger scale. So let’s do that.

For ONE year, help me keep track of sexist cycling words, visuals, and experiences. It’s the beginning of March and so much has already happened — lucky us!

i’m sure these posts made the women of Boels Dolmans feel super inspired!

I’ll spare you the pain of going through the list above. They basically dumped all the female cyclists they’ve heard of into the top 50 and then gave up. By my count, they highlighted 15 women and EIGHTY FIVE men. Why? Well the contributors may have something to do with that. Nine men and one woman were consulted.

Mansplain so hard!
