pinkbluewhite is a podcast that centers topics and discussions
happening in the activity, sport, and business of cycling on the
communities most affected by them. Host Tara Seplavy brings over 25
years expertise in bikes as an athlete, leading product development
for brands, managing race teams, and being an activist for
diversity, inclusion, and equity in cycling.
pbw put real faces and voices to these topics to connect in a real
and meaningful way. It is important to make space and provide a
platform to riders from all different parts of the cycling
landscape. Our podcasts are a no drop ride. Everyone on our panel
brings an important voice and their contribution is valued. The
discussions we have are fact based, informative, and centered on
the community’s lived experiences. While some discussions might
be difficult to have, we want to have them with good faith
and sincerity.

transgender cyclists to talk about visibility and representation

athletes in the US and globally, and the ongoing legislation in the
US and how it affects those in the racing community.
