Balance on the bike, an essay on the relationship between gender and cycling

Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

It is clear from statistics and statements that many less women are cycling than men in the world, though they are (over) half the world’s population. With this essay we intend to rethink the reasons why women are still in the minority in comparison to men in the context of bicycle use. It is a call to the cycling world to think twice before speaking about women and cycling; that it is important to look at the issue with a more detailed and in-depth analysis and not leave it at the superficial level of fashion, as much of the mainstream media and mainstream biking world is doing. This debate must have more depth, and explore the root causes of why women are not cycling as much as men in almost all places in the world. Once we clearly define the root causes we can do the important work of changing the situation so as to bring women into the empowering world of cycling.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ZY For the purpose of keeping this essay concise, we are, in the context of this essay, using the word

“gender” to focus on “women’s issues” in particular. While fully aware that transgendered people,

femmes (feminine males) and queer people face equal or perhaps more challenges to cycling as

women do. We have had to limit our scope for the purposes of this essay, but in no way wish to

downplay the importance of the multiplicity of genders in this debate on cycling equality.
