Hope For Equal Opportunity In The Cycling Community

The Bicycle Media Podcast

We are in the middle of the most evolutionary time of our generation. Between Covid-19 and the recent events in our communities. We are having tough conversations, picking up broken glass, and educating one another. Pain. Education. Change. A New Future. In this special episode of the Bicycle Media Podcast, we speak with Damon Turner, Founder of the Los Angeles Bicycle Academy. Damon shares his thoughts on recent events, about the work he does with the Academy, a youth education program, community bike shop and youth cycling team with a mission to empower, educate and develop entrepreneurial and leadership skills in boys and girls between the ages of 8-18. He also discusses representation in the cycling industry and the need for equality among athletes, especially the black community who train and deserve it. The road ahead is one we need to take with all of us in the peloton together.
