So lets say your community has a goal of increasing the number of bike commuters (many do) and someone figures out that 80% of existing commuters are men, that might be something you'd want to investigate further.
That brings up a good point. Why did cycling become a male dominated thing? I think it's because society puts a lot of pressure on women to be perfect and as we all know cycling leaves you sweaty and dirty.

I didn't miss the support it is just I feel sad that there is cause for celebrating something that should just be. I don't know if that makes sense. I'm sorry for raining on the parade.
