I am a 23 year old male.
By the way dude, awesome username. Otters are great, I love spotting them around rivers at home in Michigan.

As of this moment, the poll shows 83 men and 16 women.
I'm one of the WOMEN.
Don't assume commuting is some guy phenomenon. I'm a bus rider now, because it's winter, but as soon as there's no black ice anywhere on my route, I'll be back on my monster machine. One of the (many) reasons I ride is because guys need to SEE us riding.

In all seriousness, many women won't commute by bicycle, especially alone, because they're afraid be being attacked. I don't blame them.
It's sad, but that's the world we live in. I thing that every city that has a sizable bike commuting population should have a "safe rides to work" program to maybe help prople try to avoid dangerous and high-crime areas.

Frankly, if someone were to attempt attacking me, they would be in a world of hurt before they got too far.
