Jennifer Dill also recently published a report showing how bike facilities are used by different people. Among her findings was that women were likely to bike much farther out of their way to use a bike lane/bike trail (aka "safer-feeling") route than men, and the report implies that building more of these facilities would encourage more women to take to the roads with two wheels instead of four and thus encourage a better mode split. Interesting stuff.
