This shows:
- #SanDiego is investing a lot in #bikelanes that are used by a very small % of the population for work-related mobility
- There is a bike #gendergap that needs to be studied
- Ridership could potentially be increased by 33% by simply encouraging more women to ride

Is a lack of #gender #equity in #bicycling planning & decision making contributing to fewer women riding bikes as a commute option?
It is seen in @sdbikecoalition paid staff (1 woman/5 total staff)
-Good news: Their Board has more equity in terms of gender & racial diversity
