초록
In the resurgence of bicycling as a sustainable alternative to automobility in American cities such as Portland, Oregon, this article focuses on the heterogeneous and multidimensional nature of bicycle practices based on research done by riding with the Portland Food Not Bombs (FNB) volunteers. They reveal that bicycling is more than a sustainable means of urban mobility while recirculating discarded food to people in need. As a way of life, they bicycle to connect people, food, and places, illuminating complex urban issues created by an automobile-centric and capitalist lifestyle. With an ethnographic approach, this paper attempts to show how bicycle mobility is practiced on the move, and what it means to FNB, to understand the complexity of everyday movement on bicycles.
