This week’s episode was recorded live in Kansas City, Missouri at BikeWalk KC’s annual fundraiser. Joining Marley on the podcast today are three guests - Michael Kelley of BikeWalkKC, Lauren Allen of Women Led Cycling, and Amber Edmonds of Party Pace Pedalers.
BikeWalkKC’s mission is to redefine our streets as places for people to build a culture of active living. We work to accomplish this through efforts in five key areas: 1) education, 2) policy and advocacy, 3) community planning, 4) data and research, and 5) operating the regional bike share system.
Women-Led Cycling is a collective of women on bikes who are working to create a safe and inclusive space for women, transgender, femme, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ cyclists in Kansas City. They work to break down barriers into cycling through a weekly group ride, thoughtfully designed resources, routes and events, and collaborative advocacy. Women-Led Cycling is for everyone (even dudes, they're just not in charge here).
PartyPacePedalers formed with the explicit intention of lowering barriers to entry for biking. Barriers of speed, of distance, of difficulty all diminished or dismantled. Eli Kosko, in early 2022, wanted a place to bike with friends, not-intense, at not-race-pace, and with no-drops. So they made it! They just started doing it and inviting people to do it with them. Along the way Eli picked up two consistent members Ryan Dahmer and Amber Edmonds, who have carried that sentiment of optionality forward well into 2023 (and hopefully beyond).
