Maybe we have the time for it? I never had time to ride my bike when I was in college, then med school, then residency... That's about 12 years through my entire 20s and into my 30s that I just had no time.Originally Posted by shootingstar
Well, so far 26 ladies over 40..
Actually I've always said often to many people, that more women tend to take up cycling regularily in their mid-20's or 30's and up. Just my personal observation.
But then maybe much younger cyclists ie. early 20's and under would get bored here??

I think it's just a function of the demographics of this discussion forum, and not necessarily representative of women cyclists as a whole. Originally Posted by roadie gal

Methinks this forum is just a snapshot of entire female cycling population. As for women who are raising children, in my face-to-face friendship circle, over 70% of the women are childless. There is some time for some fitness, even if it means just a short bike ride..between campus and home...which is what my niece did for a few years. She probably needed cheap, flexible transportation and wasn't even thinking of fitness. Originally Posted by Regina
