Women Mountain Bikers' Experiences of Social Support Interview Transcripts

22 women mountain bikers aged 29–61 participated in semi-structured virtual interviews averaging 51 minutes. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed to explore experiences of social support within the male-dominated sport. The dataset is a qualitative research document authored by Isabella Gore Rivero and published on figshare.

Use Cases

• Analyze themes of community building and social support based on the interview transcripts.
• Study gender-specific experiences in male-dominated sports based on participants' discussions.
• Investigate the role of social support in motivation and participation in action sports.
• Perform thematic analysis on narratives about 'finding the right support group' and 'giving back to the women's community'.

Strengths

• 22 interview participants provide a qualitative sample.
• Participants had varying mountain bike experience from beginner to expert.
• All participants were from North America, providing a specific geographic context.
• Interview transcripts were created verbatim, likely preserving original narratives.

Limitations
