Most cyclists may never experience racing or winning at the elite levels. Our guest on this episode of Changing Gears breaks down why simply having access to a bike and being able to go out and ride is really the main point of all of it. To have that freedom, ability to go far and fast, to feel childlike joy, that’s the real goal of cycling.

Ashton Lambie (he/him/his) is an American track and gravel cyclist who is best known for being the first person to complete an individual pursuit in under 4 minutes. He currently rides for the Jukebox cycling team and is also well known for his mustache.

In this episode, Ashton and DZ talk about:

– What track cycling is like
