Slovenija je kolesarska Meka. Da o naši deželi tako menijo številni tujci, so zaslužni Tadej Pogačar, Primož Roglič in drugi slovenski poklicni kolesarji. Pa je res tako? Zaradi omenjenih kolesarskih zvezdnikov je v Sloveniji vse bolj priljubljeno tudi ljubiteljsko kolesarjenje. Po državi v zadnjem obdobju, predvsem z evropskimi sredstvi, pospešeno gradijo nove kolesarske steze. Marsikje pa ne gre brez zapletov. O tem, kdaj in zakaj je država resno začela graditi kolesarsko omrežje, koliko kolesarskih stez je in jih še namerava zgraditi v bližnji prihodnosti, kje bo dobila denar, ko bo presahnila evropska vreča, kakšna je naša kolesarska infrastruktura v primerjavi z drugimi državami Evropske unije, kaj ta prinaša ali odnaša ter kaj bi veljalo še storiti na tem področju, v tokratnem Studiu ob 17.00.

Today's conversation with Julia and Meka explores the problems with being "normal" and recommends strategies for being authentic and real, instead. The idea of being "normal" can be misused to keep people compliant and obedient - but this isn't always the "healthiest" or wisest move.  Additionally, this episode features some discussion on the way domination systems use the concept to uphold existing power structures via moralistic judgements of "good/bad" and "normal/abnormal".A takeaway:  Instead of asking "Is this normal?" try asking instead "Is this working for me?"3:10 How can I remind others how I want to engage?7:30 Care for the impact vs. responsibility for others' reactions.11:30 What is "normal"?14:26 What the concept of normal is used for.15:32 Why we want to inspire change.18:55 Just because something is normal doesn't mean it's healthy.22:20 The way domination systems use the idea of "normal" to enforce obedience and conformity.30:30 The difference between normal and healthy.35:02 The benefit of embracing our authenticity.39:02 Questions we can ask ourselves to reflectIf this episode resonated with you, consider sharing it with your family and friends!
