I can’t ride my bike currently (thanks knee surgery) so I’m revisiting some of my favorite rides. First up is my solo trip in 2015 around Puget Sound.
Join me tomorrow, August 12 for an Instagram Live Q&A Session! I’ll be taking all your questions and doing my best to answer them!
Feel free to send in your questions in advance - either here on the blog, into my email, or via Instagram
Looking forward to talking with everyone and if it goes well, we can consider doing one in a better timezone for folks in Europe too!
That’s right! You can come see me live and in person! Kailey and I are taking our show on the road to the East Coast for three speaking engagements in the next few weeks! Here’s where you can catch us. No guarantees we’ll be in crop tops…but we’ll see.
The workshop will be held at Highline RxR (2010 Crystal Dr. Arlington, VA 22202) from 7:30PM to 9:30PM on Saturday, March 14th. Highline RxR is a short (.03 miles) walk from the Crystal City Metro Station, there is limited bike parking directly in front of Highline RxR and along Crystal Drive, and there is car parking along Crystal Drive and nearby streets.

The average clothing size of a woman in the US is now between a 16 and 18, and men average close to 200lbs. But do our bike clubs, transportation systems, and cycling communities reflect our size diverse populations? Fat cyclists Marley and Kailey ride bikes for transportation, adventure, and fun. And they're determined to get more fat people riding bikes too.Join Kailey and Marley for this workshop session on 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 body (regardless of size) and movement, and critically discuss how traditional cultural narratives in the American cycling world are often exclusionary to people in larger bodies. Together we will explore our experiences through guided writing, facilitated discussions, and a conversation about best practices for creating size inclusive bike communities.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 the creation of an action plan to create size inclusivity in our own communities.*Important note: This session is not just for people in larger bodies. This is about connecting people with their body, and empathizing with people in different bodies as they share a common love of riding a bike. A big part of this work is done by people in thin bodies who create space for body size diversity.
