How to get more women into cycling

[shootingstar]

last I heard, average height for a woman was 64". That's a 1/2 inch taller than me. Now, I ride a custom 50cm bike because most bike manufacturers do not go down that far and i got tired of trying to make bikes work. So here i am within an inch of average height, and they don't stock bikes my size??

That means a HUGE proportion of women that want to ride can't easily find a bike!!


http://www.disabled-world.com/artman...ht-chart.shtml Height charts for all over the world here.

This chart should be shown to large bike retailers in big cities across North America....especially when local population has a huge base of people whose family origins are from outside of Europe. However, I should add that differences in diet have a strong influence on height for those born and raised in North America.
