A group of LCC Board are meeting on Thursday to have a chat about ways to encourage more women to ride in London and to join the LCC. Lucy Cooper has provided some background below.
LCC doesn’t have a bad split at 60% men 40% women, in comparison to the cycling stats of London where 64% of cyclists are men but they make 72% of cycle journeys.
However nationwide the split is worse 28% of journeys are made by women. CTC’s split is 75% men 25% women.
DK has previously shared the split on lfgss which I think is even greater.
Talking to them it seems there is still a feeling amongst some potential cyclists that they hate cyclists as they are ALL rude, macho and do not respect the rules of the road.
Anyway if you have any thoughts or suggestions they would be VERY welcome. Your experience would be extremely helpful.
Many thanks in anticipation
Alex
