It's a made up number to "illustrate" the difference in male to female ratio, as the person who has seen the average people who do Bike tours, and stay at our warm showers invites, I agree, Now it might actually be 1% or 2% or 3%, or more, but Who Gives A F' it certainly isn't over 10% in my experience anyways ... Over all, it's males who do this kind or touring...:rolleyes' and if more females start to do it because of an E-Assist bike being available.. good for them, I say, and good for the bicycling touring crowd too...
