My Year as a Woman in a City of Bikes

Submitted by Johanna Jackson on Sun, 01/02/2011 - 11:49
Topics: internalized oppression, equality, feminism
City: OR, Portland
Source: 
http://bikeportland.org/2010/01/12/editorial-my-year-as-a-woman-in-a-city-of-bik...

This article, written by an avid bicyclist, describes the sexism that one woman encountered during her year of biking around Portland (including people assuming that she knew nothing about bikes). A good discussion of the gender imbalance in the biking world-- and one that touches on much of our IGR vocabulary of internalized oppression!
