Iran invents ISLAMOCYCLE for the lady bikers...
Lucky girls. I imagine that riding the bike with its specially designed cabin (!) and wearing a sleeping bag should be tons of fun! Especially in the warmer climates!!!
Women's sports in general, and cycling in particular, have been a constant controversial issue in Islamic Iran. Several efforts to promote athletics by reformist circles and women's activists have failed because of opposition by the conservative clergy... The clergy considers women's body movements made while riding a bicycle to be provoking to men and not compatible with social rules.
