Amber speaks with Devin Cowens, connector, adventure cyclist, and founder of Radical Adventure Riders Atlanta Chapter (RAR ATL). Devin shares how she thinks about creating opportunities for people to experience bikepacking, specifically how she addresses different barriers to entry to make those experiences accessible. She describes how her background in psychology has influenced how she connects others and fosters community. She shares her story of founding RAR ATL and explains how she thinks about the challenges of building and scaling a community-focused organization, without compromising or commodifying the mission and people it serves. Devin shares her perspectives on safety in the wilderness as a Black woman, highlighting historical, cultural, and systemic factors that shape how we engage with the outdoors. She discusses key questions she habitually asks herself, and how anyone can use these to fuel personal growth and collective action.
