Let's face it: there is a noticeable absence of women cycling in the streets.
Based on a study carried out by ConBici in Spain, Gemma Simón i Más explains why cycling is a predominantly male sector and provides solutions to ensure that cycling is accessible to everyone, regardless of their gender, age or abilities.
Gemma Simón i Más is General Coordinator at ConBici, a Spanish organization with the mission of promoting cycling.
About #EuropeOnTheMove:
#SustainableMobility has become a buzzword. But its opportunities and challenges are complex and evolving. What modes of transport are truly sustainable? What implications does sustainable mobility hold for the different regions, sectors and actors of society, particularly in the South of Europe, a key region in the EU's #decarbonisation plans.
GEF has asked experts and activists working on a myriad of topics, from #Cycling to #ElectricVehicles, from energy system transitions to critical minerals mining, and from metropolitan to ultra-peripheric regions, about their views on how the #GreenDeal should ensure a just mobility transition for all.
This project is based on the Heinrich Böll Stiftung European Mobility Atlas and GEF Metals publication, and associated translations.
