FLINTA*-Bicycle Workshop

We are the newly established FLINTA* bicycle workshop of the AStA.

Our goal is to provide FLINTA*s (women, lesbians, intersexuals, non-binaries, transgender, and agender individuals) with a safe and supportive space where they can tinker with their bicycles, learn, and exchange ideas.

In this context, empowerment is our focus: We want to create a place where collaborative work, mutual support, and learning are possible without pressure to perform and without discrimination.

Such spaces are important, as bicycle workshops are often dominated by cis-men. This can lead to insecurity, make access to technical knowledge difficult, and in the worst case, encourage discrimination. At the same time, many of us rely on functioning bicycles in our daily lives - be it for mobility, independence, or safety.

Our workshop starts right here: We want to create a space that strengthens independence and counteracts patriarchal dependency relationships. Therefore, the workshop is deliberately aimed at FLINTA*s - that is, at people who experience discrimination due to their gender identity.

In the long term, we don't just see the workshop as a repair location. We also plan workshops, joint outings, and other activities that develop from the interests of those involved - even beyond the topic of bicycles.

If you feel addressed: Come on over - you're warmly welcome! 💛

Here, you can learn at your own pace, ask questions, and try things out.
