Is it possible that forcing cyclists to share the road with motorists also has something to do with the preponderance in the US of a generally male cycling population?
Certainly bike infrastructure draws people to cycling and it does appear that women prefer cycle specific accommodations like bike lanes and paths but 98% of my ride yesterday was on the road and most of the cyclists in my informal count were on the road and still women outnumbered men.
