About

I started biking as a major part of my transportation in April 2011. Since then I have gotten completely obsessed with cycling, which I think is one of the best urban transportation options out there.

Working in an image-conscious industry in a city with highly variable weather means that I spend way too much time thinking about what I will wear in order to be comfortable on my ride and appropriately dressed upon arrival. Girls Biking to Work is an outlet for that and my other biking related obsessions.

I’ve learned a ton and am still learning. I’m grateful for the community of women and trans cyclists I’ve found, both in Minneapolis and on the internet, who are eager to share an amazing wealth of knowledge built through many miles in the saddle.

As for the reviews I write, no one pays me or gives me free stuff to test out. I write reviews because I have limited funds to spend on bike stuff and thoroughly research what I’m buying before I plunk down my hard-earned cash. After I’ve ridden all over town with this stuff for a few months, I figure it’s only fair to pass on what I’ve learned.
