Women spend half as much time cycling as men, research finds FMTNews FMTLifestyle

A ‘cycling gender gap’ exists in many countries around the world including the UK, France, and Japan.

In 2019, it estimated that women in the UK are 12% less likely to cycle for their daily commute than men, with the global average standing at 6.7% The main obstacles cited by female respondents concern safety. These include the lack of lighting on cycle paths at night, and the fear of street harassment.

Published in April in the journal “EPJ Data Science”, the study examined the factors that might explain why women might be less likely to cycle. The research suggested, for example, that city centres with large low-speed zones, flatter routes, and fewer “blind” intersections or three-way crossings could lead to more balanced rates of bicycle use between men and women.
