Have Your Say! Why are fewer women cycling?
February 2010 | Source: British Cycling Recreation and Partnerships Dept
Although participation in Cycling has increased at an unprecedented level over the past 12 months (113,000 more weekly cyclists), female participation has decreased. This trend magnifies the escalating gap between male and female participation in our sport.
In addition, the level of female participation in cycling is a significant 17% lower than female participation in all sports.
British Cycling want to tackle this inequality and create a step change in the cycling infrastructure at a local level by providing enhanced and sustainable cycling opportunities specifically for women.
Therefore, we are keen to hear views of women to establish the reasons for this trend in participation and provide you with the opportunity to air your thoughts of how we can shape our interventions and get more women cycling.
