abstract="This article examines a strategic area in the promotion of urban cycling, namely the drive to encourage this mode of transportation among children and adolescents. The findings of this paper are supported by a qualitative ethnographic study conducted in the Spanish region of Andalusia, where local and regional government interventions have promoted policies in recent years to foster cycling. Grounded in theories on corporality, this paper highlights the social perceptions of the agents involved in such interventions and stresses the need to combine approaches that promote infrastructure with those that focus on embodied enculturation. The conclusions reached offer proposals aimed at strengthening the promotion of cycling in this area, with a view to overcoming the limited and discontinuous character of training and education observed so far.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
