What happens when the freedom of cycling becomes both a necessity and a joy?

Discover the transformative journey of Jeffrey McElfresh, who is living with CMT1A, a condition that challenges walking but unlocks freedom on two wheels. From conquering multi-state rides to starring in a PBS documentary, he showcases the resilience and joy found in cycling despite physical challenges.

Jeffrey shares tales of biking along the Ohio River, solo cross-country adventures, and the community support of Warmshowers. Celebrating the overcoming of barriers, the healing influence of nature, and the pursuit of passions despite adversity, this conversation serves as a powerful reminder that the journey itself, with all its obstacles and triumphs, is where the true magic lies.

Watch Jeffrey’s Journey, the inspiring PBS documentary. Catch up with Jeffrey on Instagram @juicymelt_ and Facebook at JuicyMelt.
