Why have British women stopped riding?

[7rider]

"A forthcoming documentary--Beauty and the Bike (http://www.bikebeauty.org/english/)--from Bike Darlington (http://bikedarlington.blogspot.com/)has some thoughts."

I thought this (http://www.examiner.com/x-2429-Bicycle-Transportation-Examiner~y2009m11d23-Why-have-British-women-stopped-cycling)was interesting.

(all those links will get you to the same general place....an 8 minute vid short on this documentary....cycling from the young women's perspective.)

Saw the video.
Girls selected for the photo shoot were all photogenic and right weight.

I am trying to imagine what the response would be if other girls in their age group saw this video, who had issues with their own body image/weight, etc. in teen years. Might have felt totally removed from the filmed gals.

It's a documentary more for adults ...to help girls get inspired to bike often.
Nevertheless, am glad these gals discovered their love of cycling. And they filmed a 'diverse' set of girls across racial/ethnic backgrounds.
