Where does she keep her money?

you should watch the first few minutes of 'Machete'. Amazing what a naked woman can hide.

So, those that had taken the moral high ground on the Danny Macaskill video seems to be losing their footing up there a little bit the past few days.

Vulpine referring to female models as "hot chickas".

Singletrack promoting a video that featured a lingering shot of a female rider, that happened to go slo-mo at an angle that shot down her jersey as she leaned over the bars.

And now Road.cc with this?

Dont know about the other two but as already said, apart from the hearsay that she sometimes arrives on a bike (of which there is no evidence), its quite a spurious connection for it to be posted on a cycling themed website.

What I find interesting is what the tone of the comments in this thread would be if it was a guy, or a woman carrying a bit of extra weight? Seeing how the UK reacts to a guy walking around naked, it doesnt surprise me at all with these childish remarks (I was half expecting a "collar matching the cuffs" remark as there was in the Billie Piper thread) nor would it surprise me, with the news of Facebook carrying out social experiments with their mood setting, that these few threads have been a road.cc admin experiment to root out who is who in the userbase!

Well aren't we po-aced and sanctimonious?! It's only a bit of fun. It's not like there's never been a story about a naked rambler or otherwise.

Road.cc is just a forum. It's not a church and it isn't here to moralise - though sometimes you'd think otherwise.

If the young lady wants to cycle around in the nude, she can't expect it to go unnoticed and unmentioned (much like the naked rambler, who was, ,of course, male).

If there were smutty or lurid pictures of her then I think the high tone has some merit, but otherwise this is what they call a 'powder piece'. It makes a change from the articles about death on the roads.

Totally agree with you mate, after the Macaskill vid there was a virtual witchhunt and crucifixion to follow whereas here its "more please sir". Dont figure !

Maybe La Course happening meant we have 100% equality and have erased misogyny from the cycling sphere

ahhhhh.... so what you mean is you haven't read the comments for the Pippa Middleton auctions her RAAM bike news article, otherwise you would know misogyny is very much alive here at road.cc

i just want to know is she was a looker or not

Looks fit enough from a distance. Frankly, I wish more people regardless of body type would do it, no other way of changing societal constraints than constantly pushing them. The human body is a wonderful and usually beautiful machine, it's more than about time we all got less self-conscious about it.
