Episode 14: It's Not Equal at All - Bicycling Magazine Editor Bill Strickland on Committing to Increasing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Cycling

Episode Summary

Episode 14 is an interview with Bill Strickland, Editor-in-Chief of Bicycling Magazine. Bill’s equal passions for cycling and writing have led to several books, award winning stories, and leading the magazine into the future, most significantly in transforming the magazine to more accurately reflect the diverse community of cyclists in the world. While many organizations made such pledges in 2020 but quickly abandoned them, Bicycling is living it. In this episode, I talk to Bill about leading the magazine through this process, and what that has been like for him personally and professionally.
