It's been the same story for years, and this preliminary look at app data doesn't change that--women don't tend to cycle as far as men in the urban context, towards middle age many (more than men) are the primary carers for their children, and/or their lifestyle simply doesn't demand the commute into Central London any more. Women tend to do more local trips than men for these reason, among others, and that's also why they tend to use smaller local streets more. (The busier streets tend to be the radial routes into Central London.) You'd also have to look at numbers of men vs. women who are actually using the app. I'm sure someone's done that and we'll get properly interpreted results in due course.
