In this article, we analyze the construction of the empowerment of women in an urban cycling
group in Sertão Pernambucano. We conducted ethnography for one year through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and daily follow-up of activities, events, and social media of a women-led cycling group. And, we included in this group, the men who participated actively in the activities and events carried out. The theoretical frameworks that underpinned our analyzes were the relational and performative perspectives of gender studies. We conclude that women ‘s experiences of empowerment have been anchored in the experiences of physicality, as well as in the relationships of solidarity and companionship experienced by the participants in the practice of the group modality.
