Titel:
 We Are (Still) Traffic – How Cycling Activists Challenge European Mobility Systems

Sammanfattning:
This emerging monograph is based on a multi-sited ethnography in Berlin, Paris and Stockholm, including in-depth interviews, participant observation and digital ethnography of online material. By investigating mass bicycle rides where people cycle together in large groups, I aim to understand how the participants and organizers of mass bicycle rides articulate alternative visions of mobility. After all, mass bicycle rides are a global movement inspired by the slogan “We aren’t blocking traffic, we are traffic”.
I hope to provide insights into the differences between pro-cycling protests in different European sites, both in activist and advocacy contexts. The project also explores the construction of a collective identity in a leaderless movement, and what role networked, digital communication plays for a movement that relies on street protests.
