When Aneela McKenna won the Singletrack Reader Award for Most Outstanding Human, we invited her to come and talk to us for a podcast. However, rather than talk about herself, she decided she wanted to bring some friends along and collectively chat about making mountain biking a better place. It’s easy to see why she won the award!
Along with fellow FNY collective riders Emma Neale and Julie Mulvanny, we talk about what intimidates people or puts them off training to be ride leaders, how to create appealing sell out events, and why the FNY Collective is not just for women.
More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments.
