Oh and meant to say on the hair dying front - don't bother. Tie it up or stuff it under a neck tube if you think it might reduce unwanted attention in certain places, but don't dye it. Women with dark hair or short hair get problems too (even old birds like me)....because we are different and always will be. We are strangers and not from their bit of the world.
And we're female, which lets face it, women on bikes still causes consternation here... so don't expect or bother to try and fit in as you won't. Just do what you need to to adapt so that you get what you want, and use it to your advantage when you can, but always ride safe.
