I want to see the survey of how many out of the 13 so far female commuters are single, then to see how heart broken most of this forum is.
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.
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. |

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. |
