A new campaign by WA's peak cycling group aims to address the barriers to getting young women involved in cycling.
"So, trips not only to work and back, but also stopping at a shop on the way home, or if they are caregiving as well, being able to stop at a childcare or a school, on the way to work, or any of those kind of multi-stop trips."
Dr Pearson said there was an issue when it came to female representation in roles like transport and traffic engineers who made decisions around cycling infrastructure. "Those programs did a very similar thing where they wanted to engage young women in the questions and give them the right tools, the power, to be able to get on that bike, learn how to do it," she said."Because once you are on a bike, it's just joyful. That autonomy is fantastic."
"There also needs to be better lighting on bike paths if we are to get more women riding more often."
