And the Hello and welcome back to the Wheel Talk podcast. My name is Abby Mickey. I am here

with two of my favorite people on planet Earth to talk about women cycling.

Gracie Alvin. Hey hey good to be here. Lauren Rowney. Good morning everyone that was a

lovely introduction Abby. Yeah just makes me feel good every

time yeah Abby Mickey's my friend like best friends we should have bracelets I'll send you guys bracelets I've been making

like hundreds not hundreds but the goal is to have a good amount of friendship bracelets for when I eventually go see the

arrows tour next year in Dublin because you know you go to a Taylor Swift concert

and you exchange bracelets with everybody friendship bracelets because

Taylor Swift wrote a song one one song with one line,

exchanged the friendship bracelets or trade the friendship bracelets or something.

Just the one line and everyone was like, oh my gosh we're gonna make hundreds and

hundreds of friendship bracelets and completely renew the bead industry.

Yeah, wow. That's cute. That's a good little thing to be able to do.

Yeah, and I've made Lila like a stack of friendship bracelets and she takes them to daycare and then I'll go pick her up from daycare and they'll be like the other kids at daycare will be wearing the bracelets.

That's adorable. There's one little boy in her daycare that when I

pick her up he runs to the gate and like holds on to the gate and just cries.

A. It's very cute. I suspect he belongs to a cyclist because his name on the plaque is

nil and that's not really a Catalan name, but I am too embarrassed to ask,

whose child is this?

That's a Scandinavian name, no?

Or, actually it could be German?

Yeah.
