Elly Blue has been working on finding Gender Balance in cycling through her work as an author, editor, and publisher. We talk with her in the latest Bridging the Gap episode about some of her work, books she loves, and the latest zine that is on Kickstarter focused on giving the trans cycling community a safe place to share their stories.

The Bridging the Gap series is sponsored by Quality Bicycle Products. Learn more about their work at qbp.com/shiftup . Find show notes to this episode at shiftuppodcast.com

After 18 episodes we are tackling one of the more important topics we can in growing a better bike industry. This topic is one that I was focused on for 10 years with Bike Shop Girl, and that is attracting and retaining women in cycling and in the bike industry. This bi-monthly series will have 12 episodes and is sponsored by Quality Bicycle Products. We are talking to everyone from bike shops, brands, and female cyclists. 

Our quarterly recap with Mark Sutton of Cycling Industry News on what has happened in the bicycle industry, the top Shift Up podcast episodes, and what we predict for the next 90 days. 

Topics covered include electric bikes, bicycle advocacy, omnichannel bicycle industry operations, and available industry training.
