Mrs b&d rides because she enjoys it. She doesn't see it as solely a means to get about in London - primarily she rides because it's another release from the stresses of her job (anyone who has met her will understand that what we do isn't all beer and skittles).
With the slow (but sure) increases in the cost of public transport she, like many others, is taking advantage of the ride to work scheme and will soon be acquiring a road bike. As a result of the lack of facilities in the vast majority of workplaces, I can understand why a lot of people (not just women) don't ride...
