Abstract
This chapter examines women’s experiences in competitive cycling, and how orthodox masculinities may influence this. The chapter reminds readers of the influences of gender relations on the development of sport, and on the sport of road cycling specifically. The chapter discusses how the culture of competitive road cycling, in which orthodox masculinity is idolised, may lead to women being marginalised in the sport.
