Women in Long-Distance Endurance Cycling

Hello!

I’m conducting video-based research on women who engage in long-duration cycling, such as ultra-cycling or bike touring. This area has been largely unexplored in academia, partly due to cycling being a male-dominated activity—but we’re here to change that!

My research aims to broaden our imagination of who counts as a woman in cycling—and what it means to be a woman more broadly.

If you identify as a woman, go on bike tours, or are passionate about endurance cycling, I’d love to hear from you!

With a background in documentary filmmaking, I plan to create adventure videos as part of this research—something you can keep as a personal record of your journey, while also contributing to the growing body of knowledge in this evolving field.

If this sounds interesting to you, please get in touch! 🚴‍♀️🎥✨
