Lian Van Leeuwen - How does the Migration Gravel Race help to shift Cycling Culture?

The amazing Lian Van Leeuwen is my guest today. Lian is the founder
of Shift Cycling Culture, an adventurous cyclist and cycling
photographer, based in Rotterdam. Lian photographed and blogged at
almost all the relevant fixed gear and self support bikepacking
races like The Red Hook Crit, The Transcontinental Race, The Atlas
Mountain Race and The Silk Road Mountain Race. In June she will be
covering the inaugural Migration Gravel Race. Most of these races
and events have been featured in this podcast, so I‘m very happy
that we can ad yet another perspective through Lian‘s lense.
Literally. We also talk about an important question: How can the
cycling culture be shifted? Lian tells us about the Team AMANI
initiative, that is aimed at trying to move the dial on inclusivity
in the sport by creating race opportunities for East African
riders. And of course Lian explains why she founded „Shift Cycling
Culture“ and shares her new project: Cracked Earth Film with us.
