I think what's interesting is the average age. The ages are pretty well evenly split all over the spectrum. Just about as many over 40 as under 40.
I was under the impression that the majority of riders were not only male, but in their teens and twenties, thinning out in the thirties.
I'll have to check some info I have when I get home. I know I have a gif that shows collisions between cars and cyclists by age, and there's a huge number of collisions between cyclists ages 10 to 35, then a big drop and comparatively few collisions with cyclists ages 35 and up. I always attributed it to the fact that there were twice as many younger cyclists than older cyclists. Maybe it's just that the cyclists who are not commuters are younger and get into accidents far more often than the regular commuter cyclists.
