My experiences suggest to me that cycling uptake is a tremendously localised
phenomenon (on a scale of 1-2 miles)

Agreed

and depends in a very detailed way on
the quality of the environment (and not much on social factors such as race
or class).

There is *no* culture of Asian women cycling. Indians are the largest
ethnic group and there's quite a high female preponderance hereabouts.
It's difficult to change that culture though th Women's Design Service
is making *tiny* inroads.
