The world needs more women bike mechanics

I worked in a volunter bike shop, which had no gender bias. Several women joined the team, but only a very few wanted to do any spannering. Others prefered working on the desk, do accounts, admin, etc,.

There were a good percentage of female customers too and, when prompted, they were as good as the men at the mechanicals. So IMHO, they have the native skills, but choose not to use them.
