Every rider sees the trail differently. Some riders look for the gaps, some for brake points, and others for corners to slap. The most creative riders find lines that others don’t even consider. Choosing your line on the trail parallels life in many ways.
Follow along as Danica Fife, Alicia Leggett, Hannah Bergemann, Linnea Rooke, and Keely Shannon tell their stories of finding their place in the bike industry. From the struggle of leaving the safer career option, mental health challenges, sexism, and being brushed off in the workplace, each woman’s path can inspire those who want to pursue their passion. Each story demonstrates how the individual navigated their way in the bike industry to create less traditional roles.
On September 30, 2022, Alicia crashed while riding. Suffering from a traumatic brain injury, she is currently recovering at a brain rehab center in Colorado. To support Alicia on her road to recovery, visit her GoFundMe page via the link below.

Women in the sport is nothing but positive. I have never looked down or different at female riders. We're all very lucky to be immersed in such a great sport in this time.

A truly inspiring film! These women show other women that there are so many possibilities and that there is nothing to be afraid of. Yes, it's a pretty rough sport, but hey... I would be very glad to see more women on the trails at my hometown. I somehow dragged my girlfriend to this sport, and she has much joy in riding her bike + learning new things. Also, every time she progresses more than me - I feel so proud of her :)

It's so interesting that this story (and so many others) focus on women inspiring other women. My suggestion is to not stop there -- women can and do inspire men, too. As a man, I can point to several women in my cycling journey who have been my mentors and have helped me to grow. In return I have mentored many men and women. This story also should be told. Women limiting their stories to helping other women is just another glass ceiling that needs to be broken.

Absolutely love all the mini documentaries that y'all have done and this one is no exception. It's unfortunate that some of these women had the experiences they had, but their love for the sport and the passion they have to succeed definitely wasn't dulled at all. Keep kicking ass ladies!

Everything functions properly kzfaq.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Nothing was damaged in the box aside from a decal on the fork. The decal was missing a piece of a corner but I ended up peeling them off anyways. Assembly is easy BUT make sure you tune up the derailleurs. Both the front and rear need adjusting. I'd advise going to a bike shop but I opted out and put in 10+ hours with the help of KZfaq. Ended up fraying a shifter cable but all in all I learned from the experience. The Brakes work well but the front caliper needs adjusting or at least mine did because the rotor was rubbing against the pads. Make sure you swap out the seat, grips, and pedals. For the short run you'll be fine though. I've read that this bike isn't built yet for hard trails but I just need it for the city. PA has some of the worst roads and being in a mountain this was a great choice. Worth the investment!

Would have been nice if you included all these women’s KZfaq links or social media links. You make a video about them, why would you not promote them, it’s hard enough trying to find women in this sport online as it is.

Same for everyone, it’s not isolated to women. But you will find it harder now that businesses are trying to be 50/50 gender diverse, rather than just hiring the best person for the job.

I mean, the video is based on a minority, statistically, the Mountain Bike industry has a larger % of men than women. You could do the same type of video for men in the Nursing sector, and how they have to battle the stigma or men as Childcare Educators etc. Not sure why you're getting all pissy at a video aimed at encouraging woman to get into the industry lol.
