Need Bike Terminology?
Q: What is this site about? A: It’s almost strictly about the top pro greatest women of the last 30 years, their palmares, stats, highlights and short stories of their career. This site was created to educated young and old alike, and especially young enthusiasts who might want to enter the sport of women’s cycling. This site hopes to provide a history of how the sport evolved, the races and the riders. Q: Is this strictly a roadie site? A: Yes, 99 percent roadie, with a tiny bit of track, but mostly roadie. Q: Is there any Cross, BMX or Mountain bike stuff on this site? A: No, Zip, Ziltch, Nada, None. I am a roadie fan strictly, but I don’t have the time either for anything else. Q: Does this site report on any real time live events? A: No, sites like CN and Velonews do that, but this site is more like a women’s hall of fame, it’s mostly historical in content, but I do post photos from some California NRC events yearly, as well as some races from Europe through a partnership, and seve
Q: What is this site about? A: This site is a mixed bag. I started out to do more historical work then field work, but I have since moved more toward field work and working with others to help move the sport forward a bit. I’ll still in time hopefully plan to finish the historical work I started out to do. In the future, I would like to continue to do field work, but at a reasonable level or scope. I never intended to dragnet the NRC or UCI scene as that would be extremely expensive but also not productive. I never have believed in quanity, but always quality. Don’t bite off too much, and always try to do the best job according to your means. I don’t believe in one big site trying to be the Centre of Cycling, but I do believe in a thousand points of light. With women’s pro road cycling, that’s what we need is a thousands points of light, where people in their unique part of the world are the best equipped and most familiar with the customs, the language, and the lay of the land to be a
Mission Statement: In short, Procyclingwomen is mixed bag, progressive hybrid of both historical content, photos and race reports, interviews, etc. The format is not impersonal, but a mix of perspectives as both a fan, writer and reporter in real time events. We also hope to maintain a newsfeed of all road events worldwide. Procyclingwomen has no tracking cookies or hidden scripts, but the robots.txt blocks these spiders. The site generally loads well, navigation is simple and straightforward. There are no ads or gimmicks. This is pure 100 percent content, non profit which works to put a positive yet realistic face on Pro Women’s Road Cycling Worldwide. This site is very much backward compatible as we could possibly make it so much older browsers and computers from 3rd world countries could access this site. The only thing that is not backward compatible would be the occasional embedded youtube video in some articles. Women’s resources are so few and scattered that the idea was to get
