Bogotá's Cycling Initiative Aims to Break Gender Barriers and Reduce Emissions
Bogotá, Colombia, is making strides in promoting cycling as a sustainable mode of transportation, with a focus on achieving gender parity by 2039. Currently, women account for only 28% of daily bicycle trips in the city. To address this, Bogotá is expanding its network of protected bike lanes, improving infrastructure, and offering cycling education programs. The city aims to increase the number of female cyclists, contributing to its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Initiatives like the Bike School and Mamacitas en Bici are helping women overcome barriers and stereotypes associated with cycling.
