ok so I'm enjoying this googlegroup even though some of the things
people say are confusing or wrong or even mean. first off, one of you is saying that if bike racers go only ONE MILE or a half a mile that men will still be faster than women. well thats just plain dumb, who races a bike for one mile? and then people are saying that those racers will go 50 miles an hour well obviously thats ridiculous too I ride everyday and I can go 15 and sometimes even 20 miles an hour but no one can go 50 miles on a bike. I was talking about women being as good as men at cycling, maybe even better espcially when you consider they have it harder to be pros. and why are all of you trying to convince me that someone who knows so much about womens sports (GBMT) is a man, that is ridiculous it is so obvious that she is a woman. it was very nice of her to give me those great links to information about women bike racers they were great even though one didnot work. thank you GBMT, what is your real name? are you a famous bike racer??? also, why do you think the people here are so awful, you said such horrible things about them? maybe you could tell me which people here KNOW about biking and which people DONT (like people who think bike races are one mile long!)that would be helpful so i know who to look for LYNDA |

Quickly, the ones who are civil and you can always trust to give a civil and straight answer are Benjo Maso, Jeff Jones, Dan Connelly, the Bornfeld brothers, Illan, there are others off hand I can't recall, oh yes Carl Sundquist, he's usually very straight forward and honest. The rest of your questions I'll leave for them or someone similar, I am rushed out the door now! Not a famous bike racer at all. Claim to fame is climbing with cat-1 in the past, climbing was my passion. The most famous bike racer in here is Carl Sundquist, he won 4 national titles, much more. GBMT |

GBMT Holy crap--I've been short-listed! ;-) For the record, I have few answers. I didn't even complete my only season of racing, and that was 1986 (a face plant ended my season and racing career). Mark was actually a more talented rider, but never raced (he's also rarely if ever posted here). We were fans back then. We were single and had time to ourselves. I did get to watch the Worlds in '86 in Colorado Springs. Got to meet lots of my heros, and collect autographs like a kid. Of your list I did get to meet Carl one day at the track in the stands--a gentleman. Most of the pros were very polite and gracious. Speaking of women, they were all around. Mariane Berglund had only to see me with a camera in my hand for her to stick out her tongue and strike a sexy pose. I've got to look for that photo... Steve |

and why are all of you trying to
convince me that someone who knows so much about womens sports (GBMT) is a man, that is ridiculous it is so obvious that she is a woman. For a short time I was thinking your post might have been legit. Now I feel like I was pretty stupid. That's OK, it's a feeling I'm used to... --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA |
