Pedal Pushers Online

Pedal Pushers Online is a cycling e-zine based in New York.  Their events coverage is photo heavy with written accounts favouring the experience of participants over commentary style reports of results.  If you’re keen to know more, follow this link for a story I wrote after the inaugral BMC Mountains-to-Beach which took place last March.   There’s also an interesting story on there about the US Cyclocross Champs (“45 Minutes”) if you dig around.  Sounds intense(ly fun)!

"Some people say shock can make you feel very disconnected from the world. My own experience is the opposite. I've never felt so connected." · Some words from my mum's funeral last week, and some of the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen. · Thank you to our enormous community of friends and family for all the support, love, and sharing of tears, joy and also laughter over these last big weeks. · We are doing ok, in a large part because of the people we are surrounded by, and for the ways you all look after each other too. 💗🌸✨
Some very sad news to share. My mum, Anne, died suddenly on Sunday night last week. One of her close friends described her as creating communities where ever she went. We are feeling so much love and support from all those communities as they hold us now. We will share details here about her funeral service over on the Facebook. Find me there at 'Kath Bicksy' - not a bad idea to find me there anyway as less people are using Instagram these days and it's nice to keep contact with friends I interact with more on here. Sending love to all of you as well. 🌸💐💗
It's not what you think! · Sara Kim Hjortborg (@nuuskin) cleverly unpacks deception and moulding attention in muay thai at today's CAVE (Centre for Agency Values and Ethics) interdisciplinary workshop on culture and cognition today. The workshop created such a great buzz from the types of questions asked and topics discussed by bringing such a diverse and interesting group of researchers together. · Sara Kim is working on her PhD with our Cognitive Ecologies research team @macquarieuni. It's such an exciting thing to watch this work develop, and to see the enthusiasm in the room for what we think is a fascinating project too!
Simple pleasures: butter, coffee and catch ups with friends. 🥳 So lovely to see you @tweetlorikeet. Thanks for documenting this most excellent croissant!
📝 "Curved edges, firm but not-too-firm padding and comfort for a range of riding postures makes Bontrager Ajna saddle one to try if you’re struggling with the narrower sweet spot on others." · Hit my bio link for a long term review on the @ridebontrager Ajna Pro Carbon Saddle. · I've been using this one for more than two years now, and have struggled to find similar comfort with others. I wanted to share some words in case they resonate with other riders having similar problems.Thanks to @trekbikesau for providing a new one for comparison. · Saddles are personal, but knowing what to look for in one that fits is always a huge help, as is a savvy bike fit (eternal thanks @velofixrozelle). 🙌
"...This research, which has recently returned from its first European tour, challenges interdisciplinary scholars with a shared interest in cognition and movement to think with their bodies as well as their minds..." · Excited to present some work on mountain biking, anticipation and riding into the great unknown at the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies, University of Sydney (@performancestudies_sydney) research seminar today. (Shout out to overseas collaborator @w_dc, you will be very missed!) · Justine Shih-Pearson (@jspinmidflight) is giving what looks to be a wonderfully entertaining talk deftly moving between choreographic strategies for writing, processed cheese and her new book project The Unkindness of Strangers, as only someone like Justine can. · JSP and I submitted our PhDs in this department on the same day about eight years ago, so there will be a bit of reflecting on what this experience and training has offered in the time since. Photo by Ryan G, riding the Megavalanche track in France, certainly a challenging and thought-provoking experience if, say, you've only seen snow a small number of times in your life! ⛄️
