Bikes Versus Sex (choose one)

When they're not running around in glittersuits or speedos, or handing out stuffed animals to grown men, our European cycling friends are oogling the podium girls... or the roadside billboards.

For better or worse, you just don't see these sorts of sexy sexist misdemeanors on the National Race Calendar. Just to liven things up here of a quiet Thursday, why don't we discuss the relative merits and demerits of podium girls as an institution of European cycling? In the comments...

(For the record, Sloggi's competition to find the "world's best bottom" includes lots of very nice, very male derriers as well. Just so you know. We promise we'll find one for the ladies, and post it as soon as we can. We're all about equal opportunity around here! Besides, what's wrong with riding around in your underwear once in a while?)
