Season 2, Episode 5: Marley Blonsky keeps on creating

Marley Blonsky made a massive life change last year. She moved from Seattle to one of the new bike Meccas, Bentonville, Arkansas. A built-in bike community in an up-and-coming location making waves throughout the bike world seemed like the right fit.

Once she arrived, Blonsky wasn’t content to simply start living the bike bum lifestyle (which, frankly, I would have!). Instead, she got to work leaving her mark once again on the bike industry. Her new podcast, All Bodies on Bikes, pairs Marley with her co-host Maggie to explore all-body-inclusion and how it affects the industry at large. 

From the All Bodies on Bikes podcast page: 

“We will explore themes such as party pace and why Marley hates it, the limitations of equipment, finding clothing and cycling tools, group ride dynamics as a larger-bodied person, the impact that ‘All Bodies On Bikes’ has had and can have on the cycling industry as a whole.”

She’s also working on creating her own clothing company to accommodate big bodies. It’s a sore spot for most riders who don’t fit the skinny-cyclist mold, and Blonsky intends to do something about it.

Marley Blonsky joins host Dan Cavallari to give an update on her move to a new part of the country, her work in and out of the industry, and what the future holds for her big projects.
