I am happy to present to you my new blog - Woman on a Wheel. In this next year I will be travelling around the world to study and work with women's bike movements in Ecuador, China, Indonesia, Hungary, Sierra Leone, and Guatemala (!!!!). I'm interested in seeing how women are personally, politically, and economically empowered through being involved with women's bike projects - I know that I feel empowered through being involved with these movements, and I want to see what that is like in different places around the world.
And what better way to share this experience than to blog about it. I'll be posting photos, writting about my travels, and also posting a series of short videos. While I am in each place I will be asking women I meet to go for a bike ride with a helmet camera to film what a typical ride is like for them. I will then interview them about what inspires them about biking, and have the interviews be the audio of the video. The first video is of me biking around St. Paul/Minneapolis which is where this whole journey begins.

Join us at 7pm at Recovery Bikes (2555 Central Ave NE)! From 7pm – 8pm we’ll be teaching a short tutorial on adjusting headsets. So bring in your bike and learn how to get that wiggle waggle out of the headset! From 8pm – 9pm we’ll have open shop to work on anything you’d like. Do you have any projects you want to work on?

Do you have any projects you want to work on?
Here is the second promo video for the Inter-continental International Women's Day Ride. Grease Rag isn't featured in this one - but the next one is coming out soon ; )
Here is the first promo video for the International Women's Day Ride. It shows footage from all the groups around Latin America that are participating in the ride. They take a really feminine approach to the ride. It's cool to see women from all over riding their bikes!
