How to get more women into cycling

[Trek420]

I didn't think about this until your post. I am 63 inches tall and can never find a bike in stock that fits. If the average is only 64 then that tells me they don't even consider the average height for women.

I'm 59" tall. Average is just that, an average. Retail need to cover edges of the spectrum. Shops can't have every size of bike and clothes. They should be able to get it easily and understand the need that they do.

Of interest...blog post on the Women's National Bicycling Forum held last week in Washington, DC

I liked this point (from the article Tulip sent us to)

In NYC, the 9th Avenue protected bike line has seen a 64% increase in cycling since it was installed and a 50% decrease in crashes.
