The Bike Industry Has a Problem (With Body Image and Larger Riders)

THE BIKE INDUSTRY HAS A PROBLEM! ... And it's to do with larger and more powerful riders. AKA plus-sized riders. In my latest video, we've invited Steph from Every Body Outdoors into the workshop to talk about the bike industry's problem with catering to larger riders. I recently built Steph a set of handbuilt, custom wheels that she'll take on a touring holiday in Belgium. We talk about how we built those wheels, building wheels for larger, heavier and more powerful riders and - in general - how the bike industry could cater better for riders that aren't in that 80% 'normal' size and shape bracket. Everybody Outdoors is an organisation that is "fighting for clothing, gear and representation for plus size bodies in the outdoor movement".
