I started this tumblr a few years ago when I got really obsessed with “fuck yeah!” blogs. I am a woman that loves bikes, and I was surprised that I had a difficult time finding bike photo blogs about women. The ones I did find had many pictures of scantily clad (or just straight up naked) women (who generally appeared to be professional models) with bikes. The women on these blogs are almost exclusively white, very thin, and young. While this certainly represents a portion of female cyclists, it by no means represents all of them. And I also find it really irritating that most of the photos on these blogs are of women in sexualized positions

Because of all this, my goal is to represent a greater diversity of female cyclists, with their real bikes, with none of the photos being primarily intended to demonstrate sexiness (obviously, lots of female cyclists are sexy and some photos are going to be sexier than others, but I don’t want it to be the primary objective). I want this to be a blog women- and, well, everyone- feels inspired by.

So if you are female-identified and ride a bike, send me your photo. Get out there and ride!
