Amanda is a professional downhill mountain biker race based in the US.
She is also an outspoken advocate for women in sport and a vocal critic of the cycling industry for its treatment and portrayal of women.
In this conversation we discuss how cycling helped her find her sense of self and self-worth, that fear is healthy, why it’s important to remember why you are riding. Plus Amanda shares how she handles the fear associated with crashing (especially after one crash described as the worst face plant you’ll ever see) and why she continues to share her deepest darkest secrets and fears about body image on social media.
