When ladies' gear first started becoming more readily available, it was primarily offered in pink and baby blue. uke: I can see both sides of this: I mean, if a girl's objection to wearing gear is "it's not cute," and a hot pink jacket gets her to wear some, then by all means, go for it. On the other hand, there does seem to be a stigma associated with wearing super girly gear, and you might get some flack for it, or find you're not as respected among riders in your area (it might also get you some extra harassment at traffic lights, etc... )
