So excited about my interview with Kailey Kornhauser and Marley Blonsky. These two women are doing so much to make cycling more inclusive for Every Body and educating the cycling industry. We need more extended sizing options for women and men.

Marley Blonsky and Kailey Kornhauser are two women who love biking, and the fact that they are larger than the stereotype cyclist doesn’t hold them back, nor should it. Marley and Kailey echo the sentiments of Sunflowers and Pedals by believing cycling is for EVERY BODY.

Pushing the limits to live your dreams

Katie Visco may not be a household name, but her ultra-running accomplishments are mind-blowing. In 2009, Katie ran 3,132 miles solo across the United States from Boston to San Diego. At the age of 23, she became the second youngest and 13th woman to run that route. Ten years later, Katie ran 2,112 miles over 119 days across Australia. Her husband Henley Phillips was her support vehicle, but human-powered, on a bicycle. Henley had to haul their food, water, and gear through the Outback, which at times weighed up to 400 pounds.
