Meet our contributor Willoughby Wren from @inspiringrevolutions who contributed “From Coals To Diamonds”. Willoughby is a non binary trans-masculine British/American dual national who lives and works in Cardiff, Wales. They are director of SpokesPerson, a bike shop and social enterprise that seeks to foster a sense of community for women, LGBTQ+ people, BAME folks and those traditionally unrepresented within the cycling industry. . Willoughby recently shared “Walking And Chewing Gum: Quick Release Wheels and Discrimination in Bike Shops” and figured it was the best way to introduce you to them. . . “We can walk and chew gum! A bit of information about quick releases and a discussion about sexist, racist and trans/homophobic discrimination in bike shops. Sorry if the upload to Insta has made the video wonky. 😬 . We need to make cycling safe, accessible and affordable for all, and a piece of that is opening up access to information about bike maintenance so more people feel familiar and comfortable with bikes, especially women, the LGBTQ+ and People of Colour who have historically been excluded. . . I also run DIY bike repair classes including free sessions for women and LGBTQ + people. Ingested? Link in bio .
