Bicycle Mayor of Winnipeg RIDES EVERYWHERE - with Patty Wiens (ep18)

Patty Wiens (@pattybikes) is the 50-year-old Bike Mayor of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada! Hopping on her bike has changed her life, as have ebikes! Now she's a hardcore cycling advocate! Clearly, if SHE of all people, as a Brazilian who lives in “Winterpeg”, can bike as often as she does and who's sold her car can do it, so can a MASSIVE number of other people! We chat about that and much, MUCH more! Patty's quick bio is: I am a Brazilian woman living in Winnipeg, who went through a transformative journey from a fair-weather cyclist to a dedicated winter commuter and advocate for cycling. Initially hesitant to bike in winter, my perspective shifted as I discovered the joy and freedom of riding year-round. With the support of my partner and the local cycling community, I overcame challenges, including cold weather and snowy conditions, by embracing e-bikes and documenting my experiences on YouTube. My passion for cycling led me to engage in advocacy work and I joined the Board of Directors of Bike Winnipeg, where I’m the newsletter editor.
