Beyond Diversity: Trauma Sensitivity in Cycling

Not all bodies experience the outdoors the same. For those of us who experience heightened outdoor privilege, the current revival of the Black Lives Matter movement offers ample opportunity to reflect on what being outside, being privileged, and being citizens in a colonized nation means.

Connections - Chumba USA

It was earlier this year that I first became aware of Chumba USA, a bike company based out of Austin, Texas. Besides the fact that all of their bikes are handmade in the USA, the more I learned about the folks behind Chumba and the products they stand behind, the more I found myself admiring the brand. The company is owned and operated by 2 men and 2 women, build frames from only the highest quality materials and approach their work with an intentionality and pride that is immediately evident if you get a chance to meet them.
