Description

In this episode of the Cycling Culture Club Connections Podcast, host Miles speaks with Red Walters, elite road and track cyclist and national champion of Grenada, about his journey through injury recovery, high-level competition, and life as one of the few Black cyclists in elite cycling.

Red opens up about recovering from a serious crash, the mental toll of indoor training, and why strength work and “prehab” are critical for performance and injury prevention. He also shares a candid perspective on representation in cycling, the racial biases that still exist in the sport, and how visibility and allyship are helping shift the culture.

🎧 What you'll learn in this episode:

• Red’s journey back from a jaw-breaking cycling crash
• How he fuels for performance and builds physical resilience
• The reality of being a Black cyclist in a white-dominated sport
• Why diversity in cycling is about more than just participation
• How the Pan-American Championships revealed what global representation really looks like
• The current state of UK amateur cycling
• Why allyship and knowledge-sharing are powerful tools for change

Whether you're a cyclist, fan of the sport, or an advocate for inclusion, this conversation is honest, inspiring, and necessary.
