Generally women have a far better casualty record than men, not just when cycling but in most areas of life. I don't know why this is, maybe they are just smarter than us.
When it comes to collisions with HGVs it seems that women's natural tendency to stay safe does not work. I don't know why this is.
Rather than attacking women I think we should really concentrate on the trucks and drivers - what is it about their behaviour that endangers all cyclists, even the more cautious ones.
