In this episode of Cadence & Coffee, we go beyond FTP, carbon wheels and Strava segments.
We’re talking about something bigger.
Belonging.
Is cycling becoming elitist?
Why do so many new riders feel intimidated?
Are clubs accidentally prioritising competition over community?
We break down:
• Why cycling can feel exclusive
• The hidden hierarchy in group rides
• Drop culture vs no-drop culture
• Faith, identity and sport
• Youth development and accessibility
• Why representation matters
• How to build welcoming cycling clubs
Cycling should build people, not just podiums.
