Descripción
El Cicloactivismo es un fenómeno social poco estudiado, que ha ido en aumento en varias ciudades del mundo. Con el objetivo de realizar una caracterización del mismo en Bogotá D.C., se ejecutó un estudio cualitativo-interpretativo de corte etnometodológico a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas siguiendo el modelo CAP, aplicadas a integrantes de cuatro grupos de tipo académico formal, ambientalista, feminista y LGBTIQ+, ubicados primordialmente en la ciudad. Se encontraron variopintos colectivos sociales, integrados principalmente por jóvenes que utilizan la bicicleta como un instrumento de movilidad, pero también de movilización, resistencia y participación ciudadana, que tienen la intención de pensar y hacer uso de esta herramienta más allá de su función básica como medio de transporte. Aparecen discursos frente a la defensa de la bicicleta por sus características económicas y ecológicas, como una alternativa viable de transporte para Bogotá y el planeta, que permite realizar actividad física, ayudar al medio ambiente y a la salud pública, y de paso, aglomerar intereses comunes, constituyéndose en símbolo identitario y de reclamación de derechos que entran en tensión con ciertas prácticas sociales y políticas públicas.
