Data and visualization can be either vast and generalized or intimate and personal. There are significant challenges associated with big data as certain subgroups are underrepresented in data collection, making their presence difficult to detect and more targeted and smaller data collection can complement and expose facets of the population that are not visible in big data. Ethnic minority women cyclists are one such group. Research into their attitudes and cycling habits is often outdated [Lim10] or originates from contexts where their ethnicity is the majority [GOF∗22]. This study aims to shed light on the experiences ofMuslim and BAME women cyclists, uncovering hidden realities and challenging dominant narratives. A small group of ethnic minority women participated in the research, keeping diaries of their cycling experiences and using GPS trackers. The collected data was presented back to them in the form of individual data notebooks, combining technology, visualization, and ultimately qualitative analysis. This empirical work provides a fresh perspective on how female cyclists interact with their environment and offers valuable understanding of the preferences and challenges faced by this growing and vibrant group. This paper builds upon the previously published work [RDWT23], shifting the focus away from the methodological execution of the study and instead emphasizing the participants' interactions with the maps and the unique insights gained.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in visualization; Geographic visualizationHuman centered computing → Empirical studies in visualizationGeographic visualization10.2312/cgvc.202412306 pages
