Bicycles have been hailed by the United Nations and nongovernmental organizations for use in social and economic development. However, there is a lacuna of research exploring the value of bicycles for development (BFD) outside of Europe and America. Specifically, there is a lack of research on the structure and perspectives of BFD organizations. This study draws on 19 semistructured interviews with BFD organizations in various regions of Uganda. We found that (a) BFD organizations exist along a spectrum from community-based to international, (b) the meanings ascribed to the bicycle are unstable and context dependent, and (c) that there were a range of ways that bicycles were seen to lead to positive outcomes—although barriers to attaining these outcomes were identified too. The authors conclude by suggesting that while bicycles are considered useful for a range of development purposes, perspectives on their usefulness vary—as inequalities commonly associated with sport for development are evident in the BFD movement too.

“人们仍然相信穷人的自行车”:乌干达“发展自行车”组织的特点和从业者的观点

联合国和非政府组织赞扬自行车用于社会和经济发展。但是,在探索欧美以外的自行车发展价值(BFD)的研究方面存在空白。具体而言,缺乏关于BFD组织的结构和观点的研究。这项研究基于对乌干达各个地区的BFD组织进行的19次半结构化访谈。我们发现(a)BFD组织存在于从社区到国际的各种范围内;(b)归因于自行车的含义是不稳定的且取决于上下文,并且(c)自行车被视为存在多种方式会带来积极的结果-尽管也确定了实现这些结果的障碍。
