Chapter 1: Laura Solís

This is a wonderful podcast. I&#39;ve been seeking out more women&#39;s voices in regards to all things cycling, and this one has the added bonus of being all women of color. Their viewpoints and experiences have all been extremely varied so far, and I look forward to following Ayesha McGowan&#39;s work now!

Ayesha may not be a professional interviewer, but instead the episodes have the feel of two people having an interesting conversation.

Great conversations!

This podcast is like meeting new friends and spending time with them talking about bikes. It’s intimidating to start cycling as a woman and I can only imagine even more so as a woman of color and this podcast inspires and entertains while confirming you are on the right track since many have been there before. I hope new episodes come up soon since I binged and was left wanting more!!

Really enjoyable
