This document discusses differences in cycling between men and women and how urban planning and policies can impact gender inclusion in cycling. It notes that women's travel is often more sustainable, focusing on care/maintenance trips rather than commutes. However, women's participation in cycling varies significantly between cities depending on infrastructure and policies. The document argues that collecting and analyzing transport data by gender, not just sex, can help create more effective spatial policies that support community life and make cycling a viable option for more people.
This document summarizes a decade of cycleway activism in Newcastle, UK according to the author. It describes how the Newcastle Cycling Campaign was formed in 2010 and organized petitions, meetings with politicians and planners, and three protest rides between 2010-2015 to advocate for improved cycling infrastructure and policies. While some infrastructure was implemented, the author notes the cycle share remains low and progress has been slow due to entrenched priorities around protecting car use, ineffective political processes, and technocratic approaches by transportation planners. The document also summarizes interviews with women activists and transportation decision-makers that revealed ongoing challenges around power imbalances and political will to transition urban planning away from a car-centric model.
Activists in Newcastle campaigned for safer cycling routes and infrastructure by collecting signatures from residents, meeting with politicians and civil servants, and participating in council forums and consultations. While the council claimed to want input from activists, meetings produced little meaningful discussion or progress on priorities like expanding 20mph speed limits. Later analysis found the reality of implemented infrastructure did not match earlier plans and proposals.
This document summarizes the experiences of cycling activists over 10 years in the UK and Germany. It describes how the activists initially organized campaigns to petition local governments and build support for improved cycling infrastructure. While some early policy changes were adopted, infrastructure progress remained slow. The activists then engaged in more confrontational tactics like protests and media engagement. Interviews with activists revealed frustrations that local governments prioritized automobiles and lacked understanding of cyclists' needs. The research found that the new style of activist campaigning adopted a more progressive approach focused on democratic process and cultural change compared to older campaigns.
Decision makers' lines of argument with respect to democratising cyclingNorthumbria University
Decision makers in Newcastle and Bremen were interviewed about democratizing cycling. Three main themes emerged from their responses: 1) People do not always know what they want when it comes to transportation and decision makers feel they need to work with citizens, 2) Decision makers want to include grassroots activism but balancing this with being elected officials dependent on voters, and 3) Decision making processes remain invisible to the public and changing transportation paradigms will require building consensus. The democratic process is more established in Bremen, putting citizens in a better position to reform transportation, while Newcastle may depend on an autocratic leader to drive change or reforming democratic participation.
Intersecting Cycling and Feminism - or: how we talk inclusively about women &...Northumbria University
This document discusses the intersection of cycling and feminism. It begins by noting that in the late 19th century, Susan B. Anthony said bicycling had done more to emancipate women than anything else. However, currently less than a third of UK cyclists are women. The document examines why cycling culture and infrastructure are often designed and dominated by men, which can discourage women from cycling. It argues for a feminist perspective in cycling policy and design to make cycling a socially inclusive activity that meets the needs of all genders.
- The document discusses research on women in leadership positions and diverse groups.
- Studies show mixed results on whether diversity improves corporate performance, but women's more collaborative leadership style may aid groups with social complexity.
- For diversity to provide benefits, groups need a "diversity mindset" that acknowledges how diversity impacts processes, and an inclusive climate where all identities feel valued.
1) The document summarizes the author's autoethnographic research methods used to study cycling advocacy campaigns in the UK and Germany over 7 years. Data sources included video diaries, blogs, interviews, and observations of transport policies and infrastructure in both countries.
2) Preliminary analysis of the data identified recurring themes around challenging the "system of automobility" through advocacy efforts, and technocratic decision-makers who continue to prioritize car infrastructure over cycling.
3) Going forward, the author plans to further analyze the data through academic theories to better conceptualize the "automobility regime" and develop more effective advocacy strategies that recognize cars as the primary adversary to increased cycling.

“Enabling human-centered mobility systems”
This document discusses the author's PhD topic which involves three main ingredients: urban design, transport, and cycling with a focus on women. It outlines some of the turning points in her research including a shift towards rationality, politics, and sociology as well as qualitative research methods like interviews and autoethnography. The author emphasizes the importance of reading, speaking to people at conferences and through chance encounters, keeping an open mind, using her own skills and interests, and having an engaging supervision team to help push her work forward and detect opportunities related to her three main research ingredients.
This document summarizes a study that surveyed cyclists and non-cyclists in the UK to understand their concerns about urban transport cycling projects. The survey asked about preferences related to climate change, moral responsibility to reduce car use, relationship to cars, and comfortable cycling conditions. The results showed that while both groups were concerned about climate change, non-cyclists showed less concern for moral responsibility to reduce cars and more attachment to their cars. Non-cyclists also preferred calmer road environments. The conclusions recommend framing cycling projects in the context of climate change, clearly communicating personal and collective responsibility, discussing car alternatives, and building high-quality bike lanes.
The document summarizes research from an online survey of 1,250 UK respondents about their preferences and concerns regarding urban cycling infrastructure projects. Both cyclists and non-cyclists expressed concern about climate change, but non-cyclists showed less concern about personal responsibility to reduce car use and more attachment to their cars. Non-cyclists also preferred calmer road environments for cycling, consistent with other research. The researchers conclude project communications should emphasize climate change, personal vs collective responsibility, car alternatives, and building good quality separated bike lanes to convince more people and showcase changes.
This document discusses drawing parallels between feminism and cycle activism. It analyzes the author's experience co-founding a local cycling campaign called newcycling.org through an autoethnographic lens and compares it to feminist theory. Specifically, it looks at how both feminism and cycling activism have progressed from more liberal to more radical strategies and demands. The author concludes that cycling organizations should learn from feminism and adopt collaborative working models and a sharing attitude in order to effectively orchestrate actions and adjust to new realities for enacting social change.
The document summarizes a presentation on frameworks for cycling research. It discusses 4 conceptual frameworks from different fields that include elements of individual strength, administration, education, and infrastructure/urban design. However, the element of infrastructure is often absent from studies in low-cycling countries. The document argues that future research on cycling needs to acknowledge the role of urban design and infrastructure in order to have a complete socio-ecological understanding of cycling behavior and avoid blaming individuals. Interventions aimed at increasing cycling rates may have limited success without addressing urban environment factors.
