Meet Lindsey Richter, mountain bike skills coach extraordinaire. Lindsey is the founder of Ladies AllRide, a wildly popular series of mountain bike skills camps for women. These camps are recommended time and time again by the women in our community.
In this interview, Lindsey and I chat about the big things (like how to overcome a fear based mindset, and how the mountain bike community helped her during the darkest time of her life), as well as the little things (like which bike pedals are her fave).

About The Host
Kristen Bonkoski is the founder and owner of Femme Cyclist.
An avid cyclist for a few decades now, she took to cycling during her late teen years — a time when she needed something to help boost her self-esteem and confidence.
Mission accomplished, the sport has become an important part of her life. Kristen’s favorite disciplines are mountain biking and bike commuting, although you can also find her cranking out a century on her road bike and touring with her husband and son. If it has to do with two wheels, she enjoys doing it.
Kristen is a certified USA Cycling coach, and she runs Rascal Rides, a website about biking with kids.
Are You Listening To The Femme Cyclist Podcast?!?
A podcast for women who love bicycles! We we celebrate all forms of riding and all forms of women, so whether you’re a road cyclist, mountain biker, or bike commuter, you’ll find your community here. Each week we’ll week bring you interviews from inspiring women, and offer tips and tricks to help you thrive on the bike.
Thank you! I loved this! I have been riding for over a year with my husband and recently an all male group. I realized that I wasn’t enjoying riding anymore and needed to be more independent to build my confidence. Can’t wait to make it to a ladies All ride camp someday. Will be listening to more of your podcasts!
Glad you enjoyed it Leonna! Adding more podcast episodes soon. 🙂
