Lessons from the Crash That Started It All
I'm taking you back to September 15, 2019—the day a white SUV ran a red light and changed my life. This crash happened just 175 feet from my apartment and it's what inspired me to create this podcast. In this episode, I share what I've learned since that day about staying vigilant even when you have the right of way, and dealing with unpredictable urban traffic, making the most of autumn's shorter riding days, and why our Two-Wheel Tuesday meetups mean so much to me.
