NEW EPISODE: "Women's Freedom to Ride." Why don’t more women ride bicycles in London? The advocacy group London Cycling Campaign wanted to know, and so they asked. What they discovered was disturbing. Hear what advocates are doing to make cycling safer for everyone. thewaroncars.org/2024/06/11/1...

A group of cyclists on a London Street. There's a red sign in the middle that reads, "Give Women Freedom to Ride."

Had a guy drive AT me, then pass me on the wrong side of the road, even driving over a sidewalk, yelling that *I* was in the wrong place. I was on a bike, in the middle of a lane, waiting for a pause in traffic so I could turn left.

Last weekend while riding on a city trail I made a careful pass, a male rider approaching chided "stay in your lane, sweetheart!" 😾🤬

American here, so take what I say with a pile of salt. All genders seem to get harassment from drivers over here, though the specific harassing words (slurs) used probably vary based on identity. I see plenty of women recreationally cycling on the trails, but very few doing it for actual commuting.
