Is it really productive to be so gender-centric...  I'm a woman bike mechanic who considers myself a human being first, and a woman second.
Can we try to focus on the Big Picture, please?

the Powers that Be just LOVE identity politics, it keeps the liberals squabbling against each other, rather than pushing forward towards a common goal.
We Do have one, right?

Four dudes talking about a male-dominated topic. Totally progressive, dude.

I've let you know at least twice now that we do not want to be on this
list. Bike Talk is not the same as the Think Tank. I'm sure anyone
interested in these updates would be willing to join a seperate list.
Until then, your last paragraph is either a joke or a lie and your
emails are unsolicited.

Hey Spokes Folks,

It's Jim C. here, and I'm writing to invite, no, to convince you to be heard
- and not just by the online Bike Talk group this week.  This coming
Tuesday, December 29th, Bike Talk will get its first live broadcast show on
KPFK, 90.7 FM from 11PM til midnight Pacific Time - you can check them out
here <http://www.kpfk.org/>.

Who listens to the radio these days?  Well, you might be surprised.  KPFK is
a groundbreaking Pacifica station that broadcasts many great shows including
my personal favorite, 'Democracy Now!' -
here<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KPFK>is a link to the KPFK wikipedia
page.  KPFK is considered a progressive
radio station that leans a little farther left than other media stations.

OK, so now you know the setup.  How can you help?  We'll be talking about
most things bike, starting with a brief synopsis of bike-friendliness in
cities by author Jeff Mapes (Pedaling
Revolution<http://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=0870714198&PID=33501>),
and followed by a short critique of bike-friendliness in LA and what the
city is doing to address cyclists' issues with its proposed Bicycle Master
Plan.  This is where we need you to call in - (818) 985-5735.

What would you like to see improved in our city?  Most of the listeners of
this show will probably be driving in their automobiles.  We want to bridge
the gap between drivers and cyclists, so let's talk about what we want to
see, not what we battle.  We should save the fight for the next show - our
focus with this show is to celebrate the bicycle and how it improves the
quality of our lives.  So call in and address the Bicycle Master Plan -
(818) 985-5735, and tell us your ideas for improving cycling in our city.

We'll be following up these segments with some bicycle culture, a year-end
review from Streetsblog <http://la.streetsblog.org/>'s Damien Newton,
calendar and news, and hopefully, some bicycle back story combined with
clips from our interview with Richard Schwinn.

We can't wait to hear from YOU!
