Amber speaks with co-founder of All Bodies On Bikes, Marley Blonsky–a fat adventure cyclist, consultant, and advocate working to make the bike industry more inclusive. In this conversation, they discuss the importance of advocating for size inclusion, building bike infrastructure and community, and what makes a community different from a group. Marley offers guidance on how to navigate difficult conversations, the importance of understanding intent versus impact in communication, and why she leads with humility and curiosity. She shares tips on how you can take action to create change, why something as simple as t-shirt sizes can make a real difference, and about her upcoming projects: Wheels of Welcome and a new line of size-inclusive bike clothing with Shredly.
Tune in to learn surprising tools for communication, how to advocate for change, and just how easy it can be to build the community and belonging you’ve been missing.
