Women Bici-bles Mujeres Bici-bles Iberoamérica is an initiative founded in 2013 by Andrea María Navarrete Mogollón in Bucaramanga, Colombia. At the moment, there are local groups in cities from Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, México and Spain. The main objective is to encourage women and trans people to cycle while defending and revindicating their right to the city. In order to do this, the network have implemented several actions along the different charters. Their focus is to provide basic knowledge for riding by implementing bike schools, and improving the existing gender perspective related to cycling spaces with the help of organised talks about street harassment and sexism. Additionally, the community members participate as speakers in favor of feminist urbanism and mobility with a gender perspective at different events around the world.
