In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Seb (they/he), founder of Queer Wheels, and Merida (she/her), founder of Project Fearless, to explore the intersections of identity, community, and cycling. From the streets of Amsterdam to the emotional depths of their lived experiences, they share what it means to create truly inclusive spaces—on and off the bike.

We cover everything from the birth of Queer Wheels and No Ordinary Women to the personal toll and pride that comes with showing up authentically. Seb and Merida speak candidly about their friendship, navigating the patriarchy from both sides, and why representation matters at every level—from grassroots to global.

Whether you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally looking to better understand and support, this conversation is for anyone who believes in the power of people, bikes, and belonging.

Key Topics:

• The origins of Queer Wheels and No Ordinary Women
• Creating safety and visibility in cycling spaces
• Trans and non-binary representation in sport
• The role of allyship and calling people in
• Pride as protest, celebration, and everyday resistance
