Abstract:

Research has demonstrated that everyday or utilitarian forms of cycling are most likely to generate positive

population-level health impacts (Garrard et al., 2012), yet significant deterrents to routine cycling remain,

particularly for women and minorities. The primary aim of this project was to conduct a qualitative interview study

that generated rich, narrative data regarding obstacles to routine or utilitarian cycling for women and minorities who

already see biking as a viable form of transit, but who make relatively few bike trips. A secondary aim of the project

was to develop a set of specific interventions that have the potential to increase cycling trips within these

demographic groups. Findings suggest that barriers for marginalized cyclists range from concerns about

infrastructure limitations to overt racial and gender discrimination experienced while riding. Data also shed light on

the unique social position of mothers, who often face challenges transporting children. These findings suggest that

cycling mobilities are critically linked to intersecting and overlapping identities, and that efforts to increase diversity

in bike ridership must acknowledge the unique challenges experienced by marginalized groups.
