Is it something in your water supply down there? Up here we just ride and I'd bet the ratio of women to men is pretty much 50/50 but I've never really thought about it because it doesn't really matter who shows up for a ride or whom we meet on a trail or who joins the club or shows up for trail work or volunteers to help out for an event. Are we excluding some? Well, yes there are some families just scraping by whose kids have no bike so our club started a bike bank, as have some local schools. But we haven't politicized the scene by proclaiming that the cycling community must be a social change agent. We just want to ride, meet new people and welcome them to ride, share a beer, whatever. So as they say "just pedal, dammit."

@cmcrawfo: Bingo. Explains much.
