Pro Women's Cycling

For six years, Emily Chappell was a cycle courier in London, living that dream of cycling-as-livelihood, and she's now written a book about her life. Of course it focuses on that courier lifestyle, but it weaves in so much more - stories about living in the city, romance and heartbreak, psychogeography, love of cycling, and addressing that glamour around couriering, and how it's changed and changing. I talked to Chappell about how she moved from blogging to writing, how couriering lead to bigger bike adventures (Cycling solo across Europe to Japan! Riding across Alaska on a fatbike in winter! Moving into ultra-endurance racing!) and lots more. This is a long interview (sorry Emily!) so there's a write-up of parts of it it over on Podium Café: http://www.podiumcafe.com/2015/12/17/10312928/interview-emily-chappell Click through to my blog for all the links of things we talked about, and for the opportunity to win a free copy of the book: http://prowomenscycling.com/2015/12/17/sarah-interviews-emily-chappe
