In Episode #3 of Bike Culture, I have the privilege of sitting on the shore of Slocan Lake, opposite New Denver, to interview Sabrina Curtis. 

In this episode we talk about Sabrina's journey through bikes from Saskatchewan to BC and abroad. Sabrina's journey has included downhill biking, adventure biking, cross country biking, 24 hour races, gravel biking and bike packing. We talk about her accidents that have led to head injury and the transformation in her biking goals. As Sabrina has said, bikes have been a part of her injury, but they are also part of her healing. 

Sabrina welcomes anyone who has experienced brain injury to get in touch with her. She is willing to listen and support others. At the same time, she would also like to hear people’s thoughts for ways to improve the support systems available to those living with brain injury (such concussions and head injuries). 

The music this week was provided by Cadence Schmidt, Sabrina's daughter. You will hear her interpretation of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. Todd Menzies is the producer. 

Golden is an incredible town situated between the Purcells and the Rocky Mountains in the East Kootenays of British Columbia. Bike Culture is alive and well.
