It makes sense to celebrate something that should just be, if usually it just isn't.

I've encountered two women at my work who occasionally bike-commutes, vs half a dozen or so men at various frequencies.

On the road, you never know where people are riding, but judging by kit and cargo, there's lots of recreational riders, plenty of women but a clear minority (20%?). Apart from the women at my work, I've only ever seen one woman out on the road whose load and lighting clearly indicated her as a bike-commuter.
