The vast majority of people seeking Cycle Training through their local boroughs/TFL are women. Mostly 20 to 35 yrs old but quite a few in their 40s and 50s. It's an interesting question, to which there is no clear answer, as to why women are more willing than men to take this step, to ask for help and to approach cycling safely in London through this route. I don't believe it is because they are more intimidated. I think the experiences are the same but the responses are different.
