Why do I see fewer women cycling than men?

I concur. Child care, another factor. I always feel guilty about leaving my husband taking care of our daughter which is in the terrible 2's phase.

I try so hard not to feel guilty about this. It's not actually asking them to babysit so much as ensuring that they participate in parenting after all. Plus, my dh enjoys the benefits of my cycling as much as I do so it's not exactly a selfish request.

I put a link onto my fb page about women and exercise - it's a study done by a mental health charity here women scared of outdoor exercise

+1 to all points above.
