De la experimentación a la agencia socioecológica.: Un análisis de género sobre la conformación del ciclismo urbano. Fosado Centeno, Ericka urban cycling gender socioecological agency sustainable mobility climate change ciclismo urbano Género agencia socioecológica movilidad sustentable cambio climático The current socio-environmental challenges require responding to various objectives at the same time, two problems stand out: climate change and gender inequality. Both relate to the way we inhabit cities. In this context, urban cycling is studied following two objectives:  identify which elements influence the gap between women and men in this practice and explore if this type of mobility favors changes in the gender order.  A qualitative study was carried out fed by 20 in-depth interviews with cyclists from Mexico City. The conformation process of the cycling practice was reconstructed, obtaining a broad panorama to observe the relationship between gender and mobility over time. Three findings stand out: a) the safe journeys experience and participation in cycling groups establish differences between women and men; b) urban cycling favors the flexibility of gender norms; 3) is a practice that can lead to the emergence of a socio-ecological agency interested in habitability, security, community and care, contents that challenge the gender order. In conclusion, the relevance of promoting this mobility alternative is pointed out, indicating some keys to promote it in an inclusive manner. Los retos socioambientales actuales exigen responder a diversos objetivos a la vez, si se busca un orden justo y sustentable destacan dos problemáticas: el cambio climático y la desigualdad de género. Ambas se conectan con la forma en que habitamos las ciudades. En este contexto se estudia el ciclismo urbano siguiendo dos objetivos: identificar qué sostiene la brecha entre mujeres y hombres en esta práctica y conocer si ésta favorece cambios en el orden de género. Para ello se realizó un estudio cualitativo en el que se reconstruyó el proceso de conformación de la práctica ciclista con base en entrevistas en profundidad realizadas con mujeres y hombres de la Ciudad de México. Destacan tres hallazgos: a) la experiencia de trayectos seguros y la participación en colectivos ciclistas establecen diferencias entre mujeres y hombres; b) el ciclismo urbano favorece la flexibilización de normas de género; 3) es una práctica que puede conducir al surgimiento de una agencia socioecológica interesada en la habitabilidad, la seguridad, la colectividad y los cuidados, contenidos que desafían el orden de género. Se concluye sobre la pertinencia de impulsar esta alternativa de movilidad e indicando algunas claves para fomentarla de manera incluyente.
