Bicycling through the life course: the start-stop-start experiences of women cycling (Australia)

24th Oct 2011

This research paper by Jennifer Bonham and Anne Wilson from the University of Adelaide was published online in the International Journal of Sustainable Transportation in October 2011.

Women In Motion: New Lady Riders Reflect on NYC Cycling

22nd Dec 2010

Dahlia Lopez Ramsay, September 14, 2010, StreetFlims

Streetfilms influence extends well beyond its website. We have had public screenings or community showings nearly every state in the U.S., as well as presentations at dozens of film festivals and conferences. Nearly thirty city or state transportation offices in the U.S. have requested and used our work. And the big number: Streetfilms have now been viewed over 2.5 million times - a remarkable achievement in the narrow genre we exist within.

BEAUTY AND THE BIKE

26th Oct 2010

Beauty and the Bike is a project established by Darlington Media Group in 2008 to explore more deeply the reasons why girls stop cycling in the UK. We began with a small group of teenagers and young women in the northern English town of Darlington, most of whom did not cycle on a regular basis. They told us why - cycling is not cool, friends don’t cycle, it isn’t safe, and not very pleasant. The lack of cool had a lot to do with the image of the lycra and helmet clad nerd, so dear to the risk assessment world of official UK cycling promotion.

Frocks on Bikes

26th Oct 2010

Frocks On Bikes sees fabulous women gathering with their bikes and their style - from winter to summer, on-road and off-road, with meticulous planning and utter spontaneity! Why? To bring about the momentum for better cycle routes in our cities, and demonstrate that there is a groundswell of great people wanting to ride. To lure SUV drivers to thinking that bikes are actually a sexier and much more fabulous way to get around.
