FWIW...
At our recent bike to work day festivities, over 40% of the 70+ riders were women. Most say that they are regular or frequent bike commuters.
That said, most - from observation - are young, generally single or childless, and I do work for an environmentally slanted agency.
I have had men tell me that they bike commuted less frequently due to child care concerns.
On our group ride, there may be 20 men, and only 3 women. But one of those women can dust just about any guy out there and at rest stops, pulls out her lipstick to "freshen up".
And my DH - who rides - plays classical guitar, and he HATES it when he chips a nail. Way worse than I do.
