Shownotes

Starting something new is daunting, and vulnerable - and it can be challenging to find spaces that are open and accepting of newness. This is exactly what Devin Cowens is trying to combat. Devin is a connector, organizer, and advocate for BIPOC folks in cycling. As the community organizer for Radical Adventure Riders, Devin seeks to get femme, trans and non-binary folks of all skill levels onto the bike.

Devin shares how she got into cycling in the first place, and the sense of power it brings her. Discussing how cycling affects people, Devin underlines how cycling can give a sense of escapism to Black folks. The trio discusses what it looks like to create a space for people of all skill levels, and what it takes to be comfortable in your not-knowing.
