Women show up in force for Bike to Work Week

One of the highlights of last week's Bike to Work Week celebration was seeing so many women on bikes at Active Trans' Bike Pit Stops in the Northern Suburbs. 

Here are some photos of these smiling women who ride their bikes for exercise, convenience, saving money and the environment, and for the joy of riding. 

Streetsblog.net posted a thoughtful article yesterday that looks into barriers that may hold some women back from cycling.
