All Bodies on Bikes

Authentic representation in cycling with Emily Chappell


Listen Later

Emily Chappell somewhat inadvertently created a dialogue on body image within the cycling world. After being the first woman across the finish line at the 2016 Transcontinental race, her cycling journey has inspired others to take up the sport as their authentic selves.

In this episode we also talk about

  • Emily Chappell's career as a bike messenger, ultra-distance cyclist, and adventurer
  • Her cycling trips through Asia and Alaska
  • How her honesty about her body image has added representation in the cycling world
  • The importance of queer spaces within cycling
  • How 'learning out loud' shows the world that everyone is at different parts of their journey
  • What's next for Emily?
