Ben Frederick, the 2021 National Singlespeed Cyclocross Champion, joins the show today. Back in 2016, he suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). We talk about what happened, the dark periods that followed, and coming out the other side. He has since founded The Small Monsters Project, aiming to remove the stigma around mental health struggles which can result from a TBI. All proceeds support the Love Your Brain Foundation. And yes, we still find time to discuss racing, riding a steel frame in the age of carbon, and his upcoming holiday plans.
