Marley Blonsky and Kailey Kornhauser on Fat Phobia, Feminism, and How Not to Heckle

In this episode, BikePortland's Maritza Arango takes over the mic for a conversation with Marley Blonsky and Kailey Kornhauser. Marley and Kailey are building a platform around All Bodies on Bikes, which is not only the name of their Shimano-sponsored documentary film that's been viewed over 230,000 times on YouTube, it's also the name of the nationwide nonprofit devoted to making the cycling world more inclusive of big-bodied bikers.Marley and Kailey are leading a "revolution of inclusion". What started out as a few tweets because they couldn't find rain gear that fit them, has become a national movement with a very bright future. Whether you identify personally with Kailey and Marley, or if you just don't get  what all the fuss about this dynamic duo is all about, I think you're going to love this conversation. Host Maritza shares how she has struggled with her weight all her life and asks Marley and Kailey to explain fat phobia, how their work is connected to feminism, and much more. Our theme music is by Kevin Hartnell. Thanks for listening and a special thanks to the hundreds of BikePortland subscribers and financial supporters who make this content possible.
