#IranianWomenLoveCyclingIn recent years, the bicycle has become a revolutionary tool for women in the Middle East. #IranianWomenLoveCycling, created in 2016,is an act of rebellion, where women demonstrate against the ban on women from bicycling by posting pictures taken while cycling. Iranian women have united to fight for gender equality by using social media to gain global attention, which has encouraged thousands of women to ride bikes. This initiative arose in response to the religious prohibition without legal equivalence of women riding bikes in Iran. The initiative resulted in uniting female cyclists, and thousands of women have posted pictures while riding.
