MOVEMENT THERE FRIDA
THE Movimenta La Frida is a movement formed by black cycle activists. The organization's principle is to historically rethink the constructions of cities in their socio-racial segregationist spatial proportions, where urban centers they continue to monopolize resources and mobility policies for women and in turn continue to maintain inequalities and deprivations of access to basic rights and resources.
Movimenta La Frida, through social actions, returns to to create and build solutions for the inclusion of women who are affected by the limitations of mobility access policies and right to the city, focusing mainly on the demands of black women who remain at the base of the pyramid of inequalities being affected by racism, sexism and classism.
Thus, the movement seeks to promote the bicycle as an economic, sustainable and autonomous mode of transport, as a possible solution to the right of mobility, in addition to developing formative and cultural actions, aimed at promoting popular afro diasporic culture and occupying public spaces, claiming a city for all, diversifying spaces, fighting racism, homophobia, misogyny and other ills that affect social minorities.
The project "Preta, come by bike!" is an action that unites the promotion of the bicycle with social inclusion, ethnic equality and gender equality, and aims to bring urban mobility, beyond the coast, to the suburbs and quilombola communities. These are mobile bike classes for black girls and women from the periphery and quilombolas. Preta comes by bike and has the function of involving the bike in addition to mobility, it permeates access to basic rights, healing processes, self-esteem, dreams... being able think and connect the bike at all.
After classes, we follow up and help with the collection of bikes for restoration or donation, since 90% of the girls are from the periphery or low-income.

Trajetos is a research and development project for a feature film that portrays the daily life of black women who use bicycles in different contexts. “I didn't dream much in my life. Where I grew up I had a bicycle, but I couldn't use it."
So expressed Ana Maria, who learned to ride a bicycle at age 60 in the activity “Preta comes by bike!” from La Frida.
Produced by black women from Bahia in audiovisual - where all members have a proximity to the universe presented, thus reflecting and revealing the intimacy and subjectivities of our characters.
Thus, unveiling that what involves the bicycle goes beyond mobility, it permeates basic rights, healing processes, self-esteem, dreams...
By following seven black women who started or resumed contact with the bicycle through the La Frida project, we enter into an already established intimacy relationship. After all, when making the documentary, it is essential to be careful with the relationship between the filming subject and the filmed subject, as what will be expressed in the image is this boundary, in this case, the team will be formed by black women who easily enter the universe of filmed subjects, as we understand it as one of the filmic devices.

The Bicitrans Project aims at the inclusion and employability of transvestites and transsexuals in the mobility labor market, through training, mentoring, biking classes and a professional mechanic course, seeking to change the statistics on the absence of trans and transvestites.
#Sharing and repairing bikes for delivery companies
At the moment, when we are experiencing an economic crisis and high unemployment rate, application delivery companies attract unemployed people and people who have difficulties to enter the labor market with the prospect of earning some income, such as cyclist couriers, that grows more each day. According to data obtained from a survey carried out by the Brazilian Association of the Bicycle Industry (Aliança Bike) (2019) which traced the profile of cyclist app delivery people in the city of São Paulo, 71% of the interviewed delivery people declared themselves black or brown. And this is also a reality in other cities in Brazil.
The project seeks to reduce the socio- economic impact of couriers in times of COVID.
