We have heard many cyclists talk about how being on the bike brings them joy, but this week was different. This week, Kathryn and Kristi speak to Rachel about her journey to cycling and how they use biking to actualize joy - especially after 2020 and living in the center of a racial uprising. Rachel began mountain biking on a boyfriend's extra-large bike. Let's just say, this made them learn FAST. Rachel talks about her love of mountain bike racing and her lack of love for gravel racing. Finally, Rachel shares their experience living in Minneapolis after the murder of George Floyd as a biracial person.

S2 E1 Rachel Olzer - Your Right to Move

If you’ve been dug into cycling for a bit you’d be hard pressed to not be familiar with Rachel Olzer or Ayesha McGowan. These are two rockstars within the community and I want to emphasize community because that is what both of these very talented women focus on. Rachel is a Ph.D candidate based out of Minneapolis and Ayesha is a professional cyclist based out of Decatur, GA. Rachel and Ayesha are on very different journeys in cycling so we spent our time talking about what’s new, what’s old and what’s next for each of these ladies. Enjoy the show.

Episode 77 // Rachel Olzer and Ayesha McGowan (Cyclists)

Rachel Olzer is an activist, evolutionary biologist, and mountain biker, who has become a leading voice in the current wave of racial justice advocacy taking place across the world. As a transracial adoptee growing up in an all white family, she had to navigate the cognitive dissonance of a grandmother who vocalized deep-seated racism and a family whose conservative politics were directly at odds with her own experiences as a person of color. It wasn’t until she moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota for college, however, that she encountered systemic racism and segregation on a large scale, in spite of the city’s reputation for being a liberal stronghold. Her Instagram post detailing her observations of moving from the south to the supposedly radical north went viral, and she is currently writing a series for Bike Magazine about elevating the voices of the BIPOC community within cycling and the outdoor industry. In this interview, Rachel talks about internalizing racism from an early age, the recent conversations she’s had with her brother that bring her hope, and why we should shouldn’t stop talking to our friends and family who express racist opinions. She also talks about her work in evolutionary biology and how the mating behavior of male crickets relates human immorality, why she feels conflicted about virtue signaling, and why her experience living in a mostly white neighborhood in Minneapolis caused her to move across town. She also shares her quarantine must-haves, and explains why you should approach your social justice work like bike racing. Instagram: @theadventurestache
