In my experience, I would estimate that about 25% percent of touring cyclists are women. I don't know what klnds of bike they were riding, and do not really care. I just think that the paragraph that included the 1% comment was a inaccurate portrayal of a lot of women.
Well that's your experience... = about 25%, My experience is about = to 10%, Moms experience is about = to 1% Caretakers experience is = to "quite a few women" and none of them on E-Bikes... WTF does all that that mean? Well, less women do tours than men... It's that simple. Why? Well mom explained it quite well. woman/women have a different priority... It's that simple.

EDIT; Anyways E-Bikes can and certainly would bring more women into "Bicycle" touring |IMO Which is a good thing...
