In this episode of the WMM podcast, hosts Georgie Howe and Sheridan Braatvedt engage in a lively conversation with Abby Mickey, a senior editor at Escape Collective and host of the Wheel Talk podcast. They discuss Abby's journey from a professional cyclist to a journalist, the importance of women's voices in cycling, and the challenges surrounding mental health and body image in sports. The conversation also touches on societal pressures, the impact of high-profile athletes like Serena Williams, and the need for a supportive environment in women's sports.

In this episode of the WMN Podcast, hosts Sheridan and Georgie are joined by Brunswick Cycling Club royalty, Australian champion, and proud ARA alumna Ruby Roseman-Gannon.

Ruby is not just one of the country’s most exciting cyclists — she’s also one of its sharpest thinkers. She shares her journey through the highs, the lows, and everything in between. With a science degree, a fiercely curious mind, and a sharp eye on the bigger picture, Ruby brings a fresh perspective to what it means to be a professional athlete in a sport that is anything but predictable.

They dive into the philosophy of improvement, the economic barriers that still exist in cycling, and the mental resilience needed to thrive at the top level. Ruby also unpacks the hidden dangers of the sport, the challenge of staying grounded, and the future of women’s cycling as she prepares for the 2025 World Championships in Rwanda.

Smart. Raw. Real. A proper deep dive with one of the best to do it.
