Devan, who you’ve seen here before, posted this, in her roundup of the hand-built show recently:

"I also just want to quickly note that while I had an amazing time this weekend, I do want to say, I am a bit disappointed in the way some boys continue to treat girls who ride (stop hitting on us, especially those who have boyfriends that they love, it is incredibly disrespectful, and it just makes you look desperate). It is really quite upsetting. I know I speak for a lot of us when I say that I wish I would just be seen as another person who likes to ride and have fun, rather than nothing more than a girl with boobs and a vagina. It really makes me feel not respected at times. I won’t let a few assholes ruin my opinion of all of you guys though. I met a lot of great people including (but not limited to) John, Tony, and Ted. Can’t wait to ride with you guys again!"

So, I thought it was a good time to remind all readers that we may post admiration for TLTC Bike Grrls ranging from awe to enthusiasm to plain ole lust, but it’s not about sex objects, i’s about geeking out over girls riding bikes, who we quite enjoy seeing in many, many different ways. And that includes our own wives, daughters, grrlfriends and so on. So, +3 to the comment above. A little respect…
