A recent paper looked at cycling demographic trends and found that, on average, nearly all the new riders on U.S. roads in the past 20 yearshave been men between the ages of 25 and 64.
Meanwhile, the rate of women on the roads has held steady, with 24 percent of bike trips nationwide made by women in 2009 (according to the national travel survey for that year).
