Summary
In this episode of The Ride Companion, mountain bike legend Martyn Ashton joins us for one of our most honest, funny and important conversations yet. We talk about Martyn's latest project, Rideable Now and why he believes mountain bikers need to show up for mountain biking. During the episode Martyn gives the usual dose of self deprecation to powerful reflections on injury, identity and access. Rideable Now exists to help riders with life changing injuries and disabilities get back on the trails through adaptive mountain bikes, community support and real opportunities to ride again.
