La experiencia de la biciescuela de Ciclofamilia Espíndola, Marcela mobility urban cycling gender autonomy movilidad ciclismo urbano género autonomía Policies and literature about cycling mobility assume riding a bicycle is a simple activity learnt during childhood. But is it so? Based on the experience of Ciclofamilia biking school, in Buenos Aires city, and through participatory action research, this article looks into the experiences and motivations of adults learning how to ride a bicycle. Is it just a matter of personal life stories? Is there a gender-based bias between those who learnt how to ride a bike during childhood and those who didn’t? Do promotion policies take into account people who don’t ride? This work suggests an increase of bicycle promotion policies creates positive incentives for those who want to learn how to ride at an older age, and those incentives have different impacts depending on gender. Las políticas y la literatura entorno a la movilidad ciclista presuponen que la conducción de la bicicleta es una actividad sencilla que se aprende en la niñez. Pero ¿es esto cierto? Partiendo de la experiencia de la biciescuela de Ciclofamilia en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires y aplicando una metodología Investigación - Acción Participativa, este artículo se propone explorar en las experiencias y motivaciones de las personas que se deciden a aprender a pedalear en la adultez. ¿Es solo una cuestión de biografías personales? ¿Existen sesgos de género entre quienes lograron andar en bici en la niñez y quiénes no? ¿Contemplan las políticas de promoción a quienes no pedalean? El artículo plantea que el aumento de políticas de promoción de la bicicleta genera estímulos positivos para quienes quieren aprender a andar de grande y que estos incentivos impactan de manera diferencial según el género.
