DESCRIPTION:Cycling is promoted as a key strategy for sustainable urban mo
 bility. However\, participation in cycling continues to vary across gender
  groups\, suggesting that infrastructure alone does not fully explain who 
 feels able to cycle. While much research emphasizes physical conditions\, 
 less attention has been given to how bicycle culture\, mobility narratives
 \, and collective learning processes shape relationships with cycling and 
 urban space.\n\nThis abstract presents Roda Rosa\, a cycling initiative in
  Fortaleza\, Brazil\, as a participatory experience that explores how bicy
 cle culture is collectively constructed through practice\, storytelling\, 
 and urban experiences among women cyclists. Rather than positioning partic
 ipants as research subjects\, the initiative functions as a laboratory in 
 which cycling practice\, data production\, and collective reflection evolv
 e together. Grounded in a gender and cycling framework\, the project unfol
 ds through thematic editions addressing transversal topics\, from gastrono
 my\, public parks\, and river landscapes\, where cycling becomes a tool fo
 r interpreting the city and mobility narratives.\n\nAcross editions\, recu
 rring rides\, participant engagement\, and monitoring generate qualitative
  and quantitative data on cyclist profiles\, including income\, race\, and
  mobility habits\, enabling an intersectional understanding of who cycles 
 and under which conditions. Collaborative reflections include analyzing cy
 cling infrastructure\, identifying barriers\, maintenance needs\, and oppo
 rtunities for future implementation through lived experience.\n\nThe resea
 rch examines how changes in cycling frequency\, perceptions of safety\, co
 nfidence\, and symbolic barriers influence participation. Findings highlig
 ht the role of social infrastructure\, peer support\, shared learning envi
 ronments\, and networks in fostering\, engagement\, and strengthening bicy
 cle culture alongside infrastructure improvements.\n\nBy emphasizing lived
  experience\, intersectional data\, and collective knowledge production\, 
 this contribution expands mobility debates beyond solutions and frames cyc
 ling as a culturally constructed practice. It suggests that participatory 
 cycling initiatives can serve as both research methodologies and engagemen
 t strategies\, cultivating bicycle culture\, promoting respect in public s
 pace\, and supporting inclusive and equitable urban futures.
