The Slow Spin Society Podcast Ep.23 - Talking Crust Bikes, Paralympics and more with Leo Rodgers

Cover_ep_23.jpg

Hey everyone,

We’re extremely grateful to have Leo Rodgers on the podcast for this episode. As many of you know, Leo is an amputee and devoted fixed-gear cyclist. Having lost a leg, however, has not stopped Leo from embracing the #fixedlife and cycling as a means of transport and staying fit, but also as a pathway to more freedom and independence. As an inspiration to many, we had a great time picking his brain about his future competitive cycling plans, partnership with Crust bikes, and cycling opinions. Furthermore, we delved deeper into his unique situation as a one-legged cyclist and touched upon topics of inclusion in the cycling community,  being differently-abled (i.e. physically/mentally impaired), and the benefits of effective urban planning and infrastructure. 

You definitely don’t want to miss this one!
