Worse than video gamers, but at least they're generally fat.
So start making cycling more attractive to females. If you're part of a club, get them to hold a regular weekly ride that would appeal to females (and also males) ... for example, a ride that might be somewhat brisk and challenging etc., but devoid of the usual testosterone battle that takes place out there, which turns females off. If you work in a shop, or are somehow associated with a shop, make sure it is female friendly ... that there are female products (clothing, bicycles, etc.), and that the staff treats females with respect ... that they do not ignore females when they walk in the door, and that they don't treat females like idiots who don't know what we are talking about.
Just some ideas.
