This week is another Road Trip Edition of the All Bodies on Bikes Podcast, this time as a Live Recording from Joyride in Tygh Valley, Oregon. Joining us this week are Lisa Congdon and Kelsey Long, for a conversation about inclusion, how it’s never too late to ride, being an accomplice, and our bike origin stories. 

Lisa Congdon is an internationally known artist and illustrator. She makes art for clients around the globe, including The Library of Congress, Target, Warby Parker, and REI, among many others, including numerous cycling brands and causes. 

Lisa's happy place is the sweet spot at the intersection between art, activism and bikes. In 2021, she was named “One of the 50 Most Inspiring People and Companies According to Industry Creatives” published by AdWeek. When she's not making art, you can find her racing her bike around Oregon, mostly on gravel. She lives and works in Portland, Oregon with her wife and her dog Milkshake. 

Kelsey Long is a proud member of the Navajo Nation and currently lives on the Choctaw reservation in Southeast Oklahoma. She can be found on the trails running but has recently been spending more time in the saddle. She started riding in 2017 and most recently completed her longest distance at Midsouth this past March.
