Riding the SIlk Road Mountain Race is hard enough, but to choose to do it on a cargo bike would make most of us run the other way. For someone like Allan, who lives life behind bars, this was a challenge that was right up his alley.
Allan is the founder of Gay's Okay Cycling. Gay's Okay is a small cycling apparel brand with a big, positive, empowering message: that our cycling community welcomes those of all sexual and gender identities, that we are here to change bad attitudes and celebrate our diversity from the grassroots up, while supporting organisations and events that work hard for equal rights and against discrimination.
In this episode we chat about the Silk Road and the challenges he faced tacking the route on a bike that was more suited to the streets, but we also touch on trying to bring more diversity to cycling. I appreciated Allan's candor in this discussion and it was a blast to chat with him
I hope you enjoy this chat and apologies for this podcast taking so long to come out.
