Ope! Bikes.
It's pretty straightforward. Riding and racing bikes has brought me tremendous joy and has transformed my life for the better. And I know I'm not alone in this...
Ope! Bikes. is a podcast, well, about bikes. It's a collection of stories and intimate conversations with members and participants of the cycling community. It's the deep-dive into how bikes can act as catalysts for personal development, healing, social and civil rights advocacy, environmental action, community building...the list goes on and on.
The goal of Ope! Bikes. is to bring these stories and conversations to life and to provide a platform for guests to express themselves as impassioned advocates of the bicycle.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Showcasing Women's Crit Racing with Monica Cox.

Tonight I sat down with Monica Cox from St. Louis, MO. Monica is a video editor, producer, photographer, and freelance content creator. Last year, Monica's capstone project was a film documentary focusing on women's crit racing in the 2022 American Criterium Cup. Together with her production crew, Monica sat down to interview racers from ButcherBox, LA Sweat, and a local St. Louis racer vying for her seat at the proverbial table. The bulk of Monica’s documentary focused on Day 3 of Gateway Cup, the Giro Della Montagna, which was the last opportunity for these teams of women to score points for the season.
Monica is passionate about visual storying-telling and human connection, all while learning more about her subjects. Monica believes everyone has a story to tell, and she’s eager to bring those stories to life.
