I found my home on the road.

What I've Learned as a Female Biker

I've learned to respect my body and take up the space that is rightfully mine.
I've learned about myself, my fears, my dreams.
I've learned societal norms are not always right and definitely not for me.
I've learned independence and found my freedom.
I've learned of the discrimination of women riders by men, women and corporations.
I've learned I am not less of a woman because I ride
I feel like a woman because I ride.

Starting Spring 2011

Multi-media recordings of my rides on Blue
Not only recording my journey on the road but my journey to finding my authentic self.

Each trip has three parts:

Part 1: Giving my thoughts and concerns to the wind.

Part 2: Meditation. Consisting of listening, feeling, and seeing.

Part 3: Singing and sometimes dancing to express the feelings of the day.

Outcome of these recordings:

1) Live Stream on my Ustream Channel
2) Multi-Channel Audio Recordings
3) Multi-Media Pieces
4) Installations
