There's a lot going on at the moment! One of the more exciting news this week is that my book is out! I have the physical copies and if you’ve preordered, they’re on their way, but if you don’t have your copy yet, you can order from wherever you get your books, or my website at www.pattybikes.com.
This conversation with Tissa Valverde, bicycle mayor of Curitiba, Brazil, is about women cycling. There’s no other way to say it. Cycling is a beautiful act of resistance and it’s simply a beautiful act that engages body and mind. Tissa and her husband Fernando, created a Social Enterprise, Bicicletaria Cultural (https://bicicletariacultural.wordpress.com/) where cyclists can park their bikes safely while at work or school, can have meetings, work and get their bikes worked on while they wait. They have won awards all over the world and continue to impact their community.
I hope you enjoy the conversation and keep coming back for more. You can watch Tissa’s interview of me here:
