It's in French, of course, but here's a translation:

Basically it's saying that muslim women are prohibited from riding
bicycles because they have to spread their legs to mount them, which
exposes parts of their body to view, and they get sexually aroused by
the saddle!

MOre literal translations:

(NOVOpress) - a fatwa (legal opinion delivered by a specialist in Moslem
religious law on a particular question), taken by monks living in the
Netherlands causes the polemic. According to the site (Arabic-speaking
person) elaph.com which brings back information, this one prohibits to
the Moslem women living in the country to practise the bicycle, because
"to span the saddle of the bicycle causes at the woman a sexual
excitation, and the bicycle becomes, of this point of considering, a
prohibited object". Kamal Al-Faïdy, a commentator of this fatwa,
estimates that "the woman, although it is correctly buckled, risk to let
appear certain parts of its body when it spans a saddle of bicycle,
which in oneself is prohibited". Moreover, "the fact of drawing aside
the legs of a woman, to practise the bicycle, is exciting sexually, and
the woman must abstain from..." With more than 30 million specimens in
circulation, the bicycle is the most popular means of transport in the
Netherlands. However, this fatwa seems not to achieve the unanimity with
the centre even of the Moslem community. Certain women, questioned by
elaph.com insist on the essential character of these means of transport
and the difficulties in passing its driving licence. But certain
commentators point out that the women, during the Moslem conquests of
the first centuries, contributed to the jihad Ã*.dos.de camels whose
practice is much more exciting sexually that the bicycle. And so they
estimate that the author of the fatwa contradicts the practices of the
first companions of the Prophet. [ DC ] Novopress.info, 2006, free

HOw long will it be before an Islamic cleric announces women caught bicycling must die? An Iranian cleric already announced women who don't wear the veil must die. Whatever happened to organizations like NOW? WHy doesn't Amnesty International have anything to say about things like this?
