Music, Mental Health, and Riding with Kids: Featuring YT

Links coming soon!

Hello everyone! I realize it’s been a couple of weeks since my last show and I want to address this lapse for a moment. In light of Women’s History Month, I needed to take a moment for myself and focus my attention elsewhere. I have been on a job hunt and was dealing with a few personal issues, HOWEVER, I believe all of this will soon be behind me and I can go back to my regularly scheduled bi-weekly shows and hopefully start bringing in that new content I teased at the beginning of the year.

I want to thank all of my listeners out there. This is a passion project, and a solo adventure, so it means the world to me that people are listening and enjoying this show. You all know how much I care about biking and want to make is more accessible and approachable. Every time a friend approaches me and says something nice about the show, I melt inside. And even with the hiatus, I still broke the 1000 downloads mark this week which is such an honor. So thank you and today marks episode 10! Here’s to another 100!

Ok, mushy part out of the way. I have a great episode for you folks today. For Bike News, I enlisted my new friend Bridget Tan to talk about some more infrastructure updates, including an e-bike rally that is out of date now (apologies) but is still really important and you can still reach out to your representatives to get those bills moving, and Bridget and I break down the perfect song to listen to while you ride your bike. For Friends on Bikes Eating Dessert, I brought back co-organizer and bike friend, Saskia, to discuss the benefits of self care and how biking can improve your mental health. This topic is near and dear to me and I loved this conversation. Finally, we’ll wrap up today with my deeper look at YT and how she has evolved from a SCUL leader to a BONES leader. Her journey around biking with her kid and how emersing your children in a lifestyle can make that lifestyle more common place to them.

There is no game this week, but it will be back this spring and summer as I am able to get outside again with my friends on their bikes. 

Thank you everyone and here’s the episode!
