Summary

Alex Dowsett is a British professional road racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Israel Start-Up Nation. He also happens to live with the rare disorder of Hemophilia. You know, that thing where if you get a paper cut you’ll bleed to death? Well… that’s a myth. Alex fills the boys in on all things Hemophilia and shares his fascinating story of following his passion in the sport of cycling and how he started the charitable foundation Little Bleeders. Not only do they raise awareness for Hemophilia, they also support young hemophiliacs to engage in physical activity! Meanwhile, Taylor tries his hardest not to fangirl the entire recording.
