How NICA Is Transforming The Future Of Mountain Biking With Amanda Carey

Femme Cyclist Podcast

This is my family's first year as part of NICA. (For those that don't know, NICA--aka the National Interscholastic Cycling Association--is an organization that gets middle school and high school kids together in a team environment to ride and race mountain bikes). My husband and I are coaching, and our 6th grade son is a student athlete.

In just a few months of being on a team (go Boise Brave!), we caught the NICA bug. It's a fantastic organization that promotes fun, inclusivity, equity, respect, and community!

So obviously, I was very excited to sit down with Amanda Carey for this interview. Amanda is the President of NICA (and a fellow Idahoan), a former professional mountain bike racer, and a woman who is making a difference in the lives of kids and in our community.

Even if you don't have teenage kids, you'll want to listen to this episode to find out why NICA matters for the bike community and how you can get involved.
