I don't know many female riders, but the ones I do know are amongst the most motivated (at everything) people I have ever met.
One girl I know, trained as a pharmacist, did a few years until became fully qualified, got bored, stuck it out for another year, has now just quit that, picked up a bike and rides/ works for sustrans. Shes an even happier and more motivated person now. No idea what made her want to do it as a career, think she was just out riding one day with a few friends and thought, yes, this is better than being locked away in the basement of a hospital with no sunlight etc.
