This is the 5th Cyclepassion Calendar! If this timekeeper is any indication, 2010 looks like a great year for fans of… well, provocatively attired & posed female pro cyclists like Sabine Spitz, Lene Byberg, Juliwe Krasniak, Nikki Harris, Monia Baccaille, Anna Sanchis, Steffi Marth and Solveig Lindgren. Kudos to Cyclepassion creator Anke Wilken for continuing the theme of “no dudes” again for next year, so we can all just sit back, relax, and admire the feminine beauty of the ladies who also know how to ride bikes really fast. A must have for any workshop.
