"There can be no question whatsoever that the key to getting more women on bikes is providing safer, more convenient, and more comfortable-feeling cycling facilities," said John Pucher, a professor in the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University who has written extensively about biking and walking. "And virtually all studies show that that requires more protected bike facilities that separate cyclists from motor vehicle traffic. Bicycling infrastructure and programs should focus much more on the needs of women than they currently do."
