As far as I am concerned,if you ride in a bunch,whether male or female,you should take your turn up front.Unfortunately there are thousands of cyclists that will never take their turn but very happy to sit in the bunch.
I have to agree. If you want to run with the big dogs, don't tjank like a puppy. But here's my thought on riding in a bunch. It is the responsibility of the person in the front to drop off the lead if he/she is tired. They should then drop back into the back of the bunch for a rest. If some testosterone monkey wants to lead the bunch for 10km's until he/she blows, then I will happily accept the easy ride.
