Hey there! Welcome!
My name is Nina Ginsberg. I am a lover of bicycles, education, positive community change and squeezing the most out of life.
I have always loved riding bikes and have been amazed and humbled by the places it has (literally) taken me and the incredible impacts that riding a bike has had on my life – and the lives of others.
Having lived in Melbourne for many years, I have thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant cycling lifestyle and community there and with a move to Brisbane, have relished exploring my new city on two wheels.
I have a Linguistics and Education background and completed my Masters in International Development. Over the years I have travelled widely for research, work and adventure. As of Feb 2016, I commenced my PhD. My PhD applies New Materialist approaches (informed by Quantum Physics Entanglement Theory) to explore how bicycles feature in rural African girls’ access to secondary education. This gives me the opportunity to combine all my passions together.
I am currently working at Griffith University and live with my husband, four-legged furry daughter and assorted bikes in Brisbane, Australia.
Essentially, this blog is a synthesis of the bicycle initiatives I come across in my research and through my interest in bikes. It also includes a little of my PhD process, thoughts, associated events, personalities and other connections that arise as I explore the many glorious ways in which bicycles create positive change.
Welcome to the blog – enjoy and happy riding!
