Think cycling, and you might think of MAMILs (not the furry kind). That is, middle aged men in Lycra. But world champion and ex-Olympian turned sports reporter Kate Bates is keen to turn those connotations around, especially for women. And especially for women who are pre- or postnatal. The founder of community bike-enthusiast platform Chicks Who Ride Bikes explains why cycling - either in the online world, or IRL - has many benefits for women, beyond just exercise.
