Kelly tells us what it was like biking in her college town in Tempe, Arizona and now trying to commute to work more often even when daily life nuances try to get in the way. She takes the "hippie highway" to make her way from south Austin to central Austin. We share our bike packing goals, and she tells us about her bike delivery days where she was the only woman among her co workers giving this delivery thing a go and getting ripped! We also examine the appearance standards women are held to in professional settings and how some offices can be less or more flexible and understanding about this issue. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cycling-gals/message
