I don't think there is even 13 female who have voted. Look at the previous posts.

In New Orleans there are tons of females cycling for utilitarian purposes. Can't swear it is 50-50 but i see many daily.

My wife was a daily utilitarian cyclist for 3+ years when living in NOLA.
Commutes 2-4 days per week and also rec/utilitarian cyclist here in ATX for the past 6 years. Probably on a bike 3-6 days per week. Pretty good for her because we have 4 kids.
Did her best in houston, as well. Bit more difficult for her there due to traffic conditions and less prevalent bicycle culture, at the time.

Yep but some of them are males who have voted female for whatever reasons and I'm not talking about those who are not male nor female. There is also some males who like to be female from time to time. It's impossible to conclude anything.

I see more women cycling as the weather gets better and the mornings/evenings get lighter. Most women I personally know don't commute via bike because the thought of something new and so different is a bit intimidating to them. I offer to ride with as many as I can for their first few trips and most of them are still bike commuting now; maybe not all year but they get out and do it. A major factor is access to shower facilities and a place to store things like shampoo and makeup/hairstyling things. A good haircut does help! And then there's the factor of 1) Kids 2) what to do if you need to run major errands after work 3) another job/school 4) bad weather 5) hills! etc., etc.

Those that don't ride all year round but still do it get my support and help if/when they need it. Some cities/neighborhoods are more bike friendly than others so a flat/good weather city may have more all around riders than one requiring some self-assuredness to just even ride a half mile to the grocery store in the rain, uphill with full bags on the major arterial since there's no through side-streets.

I think most people know that this is not the place for finding a date.
