A year ago Barb Chamberlain was appointed Executive Director of a bicycle advocacy group called the Bicycle Alliance of Washington. Having a history of bicycle advocacy and public policy go hand in hand for this position. In addition to this public office, Barb works to champion women and bicycling through one of her blogs Bike Style. A link to that blog can be found here and it's also on the right hand column here on this page under Bicycling Links of Interest.
Among some of the interesting and informational aspects of her blog she has a comprehensive listing of bicycling blogs written by women. In addition to advocacy items on this blog you'll also find articles about commuting, how to's, style, health and reviews on popular items and topics of interest to women. You can find her on Twitter and Facebook also.
One of the many interesting posts you'll find there is one on bicycle helmets entitled Bike Helmets: Pro-Cute Anti-Ugly. Cute and helmets don't usually go in the same sentence but here you will find cute helmets and very cute helmet covers which can automatically elevate your plain-Jane head protection into a fashion statement.
Women make up 50% of the population and it's nice to see them gaining seats of influence in all areas of things bike related.
