173 We Have To Talk About Women... To Make Cycling Better! (International Women's Day + Nic Roberts, Velophysio)

Welcome to an international women's day episode where I sit down to talk with Nic Roberts the Velophysio. Nic has been a friend and colleague I've worked with for many years and it's a privilege to be able to have her knowledge and expertise on tap for this podcast.So join us for a conversation about the unique opportunities we have as bike fitters and health practitioners to better help our female riders. Whether you're a bike fitter working with female riders or a rider who cares about their fellow cyclists, I guarantee you'll get a lot out of this conversation and all the resources that Nic points to at the end.
