In this episode of Bike Life Unchained, we head north to Alaska’s biggest city to explore one of the most unique and resilient cycling cultures in the world. 🚵‍♀️ We hit the trails at a women’s mountain biking festival and try our luck at downhill for the first time ❄️ Learn what it takes to ride through the darkest, coldest months on a winter-ready fat bike 💡 Ride along on a community group ride with a mission—and a message 🏕️ Meet the nonprofit teaching teen girls confidence through multi-day bikepacking in the Alaskan backcountry 🛠️ Drop by a community bike co-op, a women-owned bike clothing shop, and catch a game of bike polo. Anchorage isn’t just about surviving the extremes. It’s about thriving in them—and building a bike scene that’s as bold and wild as the landscape itself.
