Cycling dismay as women's events frozen out for London 2012

I don't think it's that bad. It shows that the opportunities are there, the sad thing is that so few people are taking advantage of them.

I must admit, though, it would never occur to me either, and compared to a lot of women I cycle a lot – I love doing long rides, go to the track up here in Glasgow just to be able to go fast (there's never anyone else there, it's just a shit one in a park), and cycle in groups just for fun – but I would never dream of actually racing or going to anything organised. I mean...I smoke fags and shit.
