'It's about planning for the trips that aren't taken as well as those that are': Cycling infrastructure needs to be built with women in mind, study suggests cycling
Research from Australia has taken a deep dive into the factors that prevent women from cycling in urban areas, creating a list of suggestions for boosting active travel in a more inclusive way., the research was undertaken by Monash university's Sustainable Mobility and Safety Research Group, Dr Lauren Pearson noting that in Melbourne's most built-up areas there are two men cycling for every woman.
One such suggestion that came from the survey was segregation, the study noting that physical separation from motor traffic"may support more women to ride a bike through reducing motor vehicle interactions", something many said they lacked confidence with. Dr Pearson also suggested council-run maintenance courses and better mechanical support could help, the survey finding that women were less confident than men with buying and maintaining a bicycle.
