Join us for a Body Size Inclusivity Online Workshop!
Update: One more session added for our friends in other time zones!! Details at the bottom!
Mark your calendars and please join us for a 1-hour online workshop “Fat Bikers: Creating a Size Inclusive Bike Community” offered on 04/21 at 7pm PST and 04/29 at 4 pm PST via Zoom. This is the same talk we were planning to give at the National Bike Summit in Washington, DC (but are now doing online #stayhomestayhealthy)
In this workshop Kailey Kornhauser and I will discuss body size diversity in cycling and how we can all play a role in making our spaces more size inclusive.
Attendees will be challenged to explore their own relationship to their own body (regardless of size) and movement, and critically examine how traditional cultural narratives in the American cycling world are often exclusionary to people in larger bodies. Together we will explore our experiences through personal reflection and conversation about best practices for creating size inclusivity.
This session will also include real-world advice about equipment considerations for fat people when biking, gear recommendations, and fun stories about adventure cycling mishaps from the facilitators. Finally, the workshop will close with a discussion about existing size inclusive groups and ways in which we can develop a similar sense of allyship and community in cycling.
