More Than a Ride with Oliviah Franke (S1E9)

Oliviah (she/her) is a biracial chicana who is passionate about social justice, advocacy for inclusion in cycling, plants, and her two cats. She was born in Portland Oregon, but proud to call Dena'ina lands in Anchorage Alaska, home now. She works in Community Education at a non profit called Native Movement and also spends time working in community with other cyclists to organize and facilitate BIPOC affinity rides in Anchorage! She considers herself to still be a novice cyclist; having just gotten into bikepacking, winter rides on frozen bodies of water, and cycling with groups. She was a 2022 Ride for Racial Justice team athlete at Steamboat Gravel. The bike is a vehicle for liberation; her identities as queer, larger bodied, BIPOC, adopted, femme.... they are all made free and celebrated when she is having fun and pushing herself on a bike."Swood Bicycles 7 Roads BagsChingona FilmOliviah's Instagram: @oliviahfrankeFollow us on Instagram:@allbodiesonbikes @feisty_media All Bodies on Bikes Website: https://www.allbodiesonbikes.com/ Feisty Media Website: https://livefeisty.com/ Tifosi: Use the code FM20 to get 20% off your order at tifosioptics.comFierce Hazel: Use code is allbodies for 30% off at fiercehazel.com
