The Bike Nerds kick off 2019 with a bang! Sara is joined by Carolyn Finney, assistant professor of geography at the University of Kentucky and author of “Black Faces, White Spaces” (https://goo.gl/ZsemNT) to discuss the how identity and representation influence participation in outdoor recreational activities by people of color. Carolyn was a lead organizer of REI’s “5 Ways to Make the Outdoors More Inclusive” (https://goo.gl/oKeWgX), a detailed step-by-step action plan for making our public spaces accessible and culturally relevant to everyone.
