EPISODE 4: Gender is a Boundless Expanse

Within&Without

Hear stories from cyclists from across the gender spectrum share experiences with cycling and the outdoors. We talk about how people show up in the FTWN-B cycling community and what we can do to create more gender inclusive spaces. For today’s episode we spoke with poet Kai Konradi, Mary Ann Thomas, Jessi Harris, Alex Villalba, Tez De La Tierra, Alley/Ramon Reyes, Lydia Moore and RAR Gravel Team dad Izzy Sederbaum.

Music for this episode was made by the Band Your Heart Breaks and our logo design is by Molly Sugar. This series is hosted by Rio Oxas of RAHOK and Everett Ó Cillín, former co-founder of the Radical Adventure Riders, and was produced and edited by Everett.

This episode was made possible through the support of our friends at Swift Industries. Based in Seattle, Washington, Swift makes quality handcrafted bicycle bags for every adventure. We got to spend some time with Swift co-founder and head honcho Martina Brimmer at the 2020 RAR Gravel camp last year, and her joy and enthusiasm for cycling has been a source of encouragement from the very beginning. Thanks Swift, we’ll see you on the trail.
SERIES DESCRIPTION
Radical Adventure Riders (RAR) and Race.Ancestors.Health.Outdoors.Knowledge (RAHOK) present the Within & Without podcast. A series of off the chain dispatches from BIPoC and Allies discussing tensions within the cycling community and how we connect to ourselves and the world around us through cycling and the outdoors. Recorded throughout 2020 amidst a global pandemic and racial reckoning, this series shares the lived experiences of our moment.

These conversations help move us toward transformation:a transformation that centers the freedom and justice of our earth, amplifies voices from across the gender spectrum, and centers Black, Indigenous and People of Color. We acknowledge the energy of discomfort these conversations may bring and hope this very energy will help shift the greater dialogue to support the changes needed in outdoor and cycling communities - and our world.
