One of the many great things about the sport of cyclocross is its gender diversity - as the State of Australian Cyclocross series showed that in 2019 women made up around 25% of participants in cyclocross around Australia.

While this is a higher rate of female participation than other cycling disciplines such as mountain biking or road cycling, there’s still work to be done to strive for gender equality in the sport of cyclocross, especially as it pertains to racing in Australia and New Zealand.

With that in mind, we created this survey to gain feedback on the current state of gender equality in the state of cyclocross. We’ll take a selection of the best and most thoughtful answers and publish them in an article on International Women’s Day this Friday.

Please take 10-15 minutes out of your day and let us know your thoughts. Thanks in advance!
