DESCRIPTION:Cycling\, a sustainable and healthy form of transportation\, h
 as increasingly been promoted as central to achieving the mobility turn ac
 ross Europe. In Germany\, the resulting cycling boom has produced signific
 ant disparities in cycling participation and exacerbated existing social i
 nequalities\, particularly among marginalised populations. For migrant and
  refugee women\, barriers preventing bicycle usage are often compounded by
  intersecting gendered and socio-cultural conditions. Drawing on Munich as
  a case study\, this research explores how the mobility practices of (forc
 ed) migrant women change after participation in a bicycle course. Conceptu
 ally\, this project fuses a mobility cultures approach with practice-theor
 etical considerations to highlight the cultural and intersectional barrier
 s and enablers of cycling. A multimethod approach is employed combining si
 x months of extensive ethnographic fieldwork as a bicycle trainer in Munic
 h with sixteen semi-structured interviews. The analysis reveals that cycli
 ng represents a _more-than-mobility_ practice as it is highly associated w
 ith feelings of freedom\, empowerment and belonging. Bicycle courses act a
 s important interventions that enhance women’s access to cycling\, enabl
 ing greater social participation and integration. However\, barriers embed
 ded in Germany’s mobility cultures prevent ongoing engagement with the b
 icycle. This research contends that greater academic and policy attention 
 to the cultural dimensions of mobility is essential for engaging underrepr
 esented groups and advancing socially just and inclusive urban mobility tr
 ansitions.
