A ruling last month by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that Iranian women could not ride bicycles because it "attracts the attention of men and exposes the society to corruption," according to The New York Times . Riding a bike, he told state media, "Contravenes women’s chastity, and it must be abandoned."Now, Iranian women are rebelling against the rule by posting photos and videos of themselves biking using the hashtag #IranianWomenLoveCycling.The hashtag was started by Masih Alinejad, a journalist who founded My Stealthy Freedom , an online movement encouraging Iranian women to share photos of themselves without hijab."Expecting Iranian women to enjoy the same rights as men in order to be able to freely ride bicycles in their own country is not too much to ask," she wrote on Instagram. "We are not even doing anything against the law because the activity does not have a penalty in Iran's legal code, so let's respect and support each other."
