Notes:

  • In Australia females ride significantly less than males 

  • Women have safety concerns, fear of judgement and lack of confidence. 

  • Females view getting around a city differently to males, have different needs

  • “You can’t be what you can’t see”, so should there be any marketing/ social media campaign/ website specifically focusing on women? 

  • Comment from the audience: many males are also less confident cyclists, so is it a common issue and not only a gender issue?
