Are you TNBI and cycle or faced barriers to cycling?

We are recruiting participants for research that seeks to understand the experiences of TNBI individuals who cycle, have cycled, and/or face barriers to cycling.

We aim to gain a greater understanding of TNBI people’s experiences of cycling by holding group discussions of our experiences, what we’d like to see changed, and making a zine. We are interested in cycling for any means of travel, commuting, and leisure (just not competitive cycling as a sport, sorry!). The project is led by Matt (they/them) at the University of Brighton working with Beck Cedar (they/them) at The Clare Project and zine-maker and cycling enthusiast Lea Cooper (they/them).
