Home / Books / Riding to Freedom: Women and Bicycling in the Muslim Contexts

Riding to Freedom: Women and Bicycling in the Muslim Contexts explores how women across Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Türkiye, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Britain use cycling to challenge restrictions and reclaim public space. Edited by Homa Hoodfar and Dana Kamour, this collection highlights stories of activism, resilience, and change. More than just transportation, the bicycle becomes a symbol of freedom and resistance. A compelling read for those interested in gender, mobility, and the right to public space. #RideForFreedom
