Why are British cyclists so much better than Australian cyclists?

As a single, Aussie female, I may as well just go hang myself right now! But then I'd miss out on watching AS, AC, LA etc duking it out next year ...

Not sure what "pm" means ... how's this?

With this tidbit from the research,

All up we found 55 percent of women had a difficulty with sexual satisfaction

you should hope your luck is better than average.

An interesting stat....was that from a FHM, Playboy or Penthouse magazine survey?

It's not necessarily the Aussie woman at fault here ...

Nice bike. The girl's pretty good too. The study on the australian men was conducted by a british professor. No biased their

It must be.... 99% of males have no trouble at all

 

[beroepsrenner]

the real answer is that Aussies over train.

This study proves it

'Aussie Women unsatisfied in bed'

Over half of Australian women have difficulties getting sexual satisfaction, according to a new survey of more than 400 women, by Deakin University Psychology professor Marita McCabe, and PhD student Katie Giles, who studied Australian women’s sex lives and sexual feelings.

The researchers found that rates of sexual desire were similar to those shown in international studies; however, Australian women appeared to have more problems with arousal and orgasm.

Professor McCabe, who recently presented the data at a sexuality conference on Australia’s Gold Coast said:

All up we found 55 percent of women had a difficulty with sexual satisfaction

It seems women go into the bedroom and expect it will happen quickly, automatically, with orgasm, even be multi-orgasmic, but without spending the time to do so. They’re busy and stressed and not taking the time for their sexual expression.

Further, according to Professor McCabe, the survey revealed that 65 percent of women had some form of sexual dysfunction and half had a diagnosable sexual desire disorder.

Anxiety and depression were found to be contributing factors, but stress and poor body image had the biggest influence on sexual interest and response.

Other scientists were more critical, and Jane Ussher, a women’s health psychologist at the University of Western Sydney, said while she did not dispute the statistics, to label a quarter of the Australian population sexually dysfunctional was ‘not helpful‘.

Professor Ussher was quoted as saying:

To talk about dysfunction implies some abnormality within the women, and whilst many women do have issues around sexual desire, especially in heterosexual relationships, that is very likely to be about the relationship rather than the woman herself.

She went on to say that there was strong evidence to suggest that women with low desire regained their interest in sex once they re-partnered. And, there was also an argument that pharmaceutical companies were trying to position a lack of desire as dysfunctional, so that it could be treated.

Personal? Personal would be like "Kiwi Lager is better than Aussie Lager"! although true it is one of the unsaid truths..

So the pharmaceutical companies are facing a diminishing market base in cycling so have turned their attention to the bedroom?

england; country with the best 'weather'
australia; country with the worst

I dont think so
maybe the english arent tough enough to live down here.

Sorry to diappoint you all, but I don't think that's really Trudy. There are only about 3 women of Asian heritage in all of Tasmania (it's not just for the lack of sunlight that we're the whitest state in Australia), and I haven't seen the woman in the photo around.

You might want to check your facts on that one.

Going to Adelaide again in a couple of weeks for work so maybe I will;-P Last time I was there the cab ride from town to the airport was about 20 minutes in traffic through suburbia and light-industrial zones.
A city in England (or aywhere in Europe) with the same population as Adelaide would be 1/4 the size.
The only reason I didn't even add HOBART to the list is because it's long and skinny. The town I lived in in SW England last year (Exeter) had similar population to Hobart, yet you could easily reach farmland within 5 minutes ride from the centre of town, in any direction. We lived and worked at the major hospital for the region and could see grazing cattle out our window!
There is only one direction to reach bush in 5 minutes from Hobart, and that's West (e.g. up the 1200m climb of Mt Wellington). North or South is suburbs, East there is a wet bit then more suburbs strung out roughly N/S along the water.
So England has better town planning than Australia.

Anyone want to comment on who would win a chavs vs bogans all-in-brawl? Crack of noon round the back of LIDL?

i've never been to england, but i have to agree that the planning isnt good. especially in melbourne, you end up going around in circles half the time. adelaide's pretty good. and hows this for knowledge, the parklands around adelaide are the width of a canon's fire, approxamately.

 

[stefank]

Town planning? Here in Hobart? But the truth is that the layout of the city (and the direction of most bike rides) is determined by the topography. I tend to avoid the steeper bits, and also those that are underwater.

 

[hayleyy]

I dont know how the suburbs of adelaide are planned, but hey, if the tour down under can come here it must be pretty good for cycling right?

Aussie towns are so sprawling because most people have a back yard of a decent size, in which kids can learn to ride their bikes going round and round and even building their own jumps.
Maybe this is why Aussie cyclists are better?

that i definitely have to agree with.
back yards are massive, unless you have a sub-divided block

Mate you must have never been to the UK, our women are orange!

All the Australian and UK cities I've been to are rubbish for cycling in but unless you are commuting then it's more important how easy a city is to get out of and what the surrounding areas are like. Only a few of the main land European citites are actually good to ride in.
