I thank you for that response and I congratulate the Assembly on what it does generally to encourage cycling. Last week, Sustrans published its 'Bike Life' report into the cycling habits of women in seven cities across the UK, including Cardiff. It showed that in Cardiff only 14 per cent of women cycle once a week, compared with 27 per cent of men, and the ratio of female to male bike riders is 1:19. So, what is the Commission doing to particularly encourage more women members of staff to cycle to work? Does it have a breakdown by gender of the members of staff who do cycle to work? It'd be interesting to see whether the findings of the Sustrans report are reflected in the staff of the Assembly. Is there any more that the Commission could do to encourage women members of staff?
