Ep. 8 — Naomi's Life-Cycle
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going outside your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
What started off as a vehicle for freedom and indolence became a conversation on interdependence.
In this episode, Naomi shares her story being a commuter cyclist. From cycling through Chicago winters, to confronting mortality and challenging the status quo, Naomi recalls how this simple form of transportation changed her life.
Along the way you’ll hear the sisters discuss some practicalities that come with cycling as well as understanding the complex relationship between cyclists and motorists.
