Abstract
This study concentrates on the city of Groningen with the purpose of providing insight into the views and factors that affect non-Western female international students in using or not using the bicycle as a means of daily transport. The intention is to provide policy makers in the city as well as at the University of Groningen with information aimed at enhancing the use of cycling by non-Western female students. The in-depth interviews and collated data analysis show a clear connection to the cultural background of the participants where cycling is gender related and associated with poverty and recreational purposes. Individual factors such as the willingness to integrate in the new society by using the bicycle as a means of transport, personal safety, fear to engage in traffic and gender related matters also affect their choice of cycling.
