Erin Detroit Vesey is a queer cyclist and chef living in Los Angeles. They have worked all over the city and most recently owned their own queer centered cycling cafe, Detroit Vesey’s. They're also a seven time participant in AIDS/Lifecycle, an annual 545 mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. I typically rode with Erin once a week into the hills and mountains of Southern California, and I recall sharing with Erin the earliest ideas for this podcast on such rides. They would swap back with the earliest ideas for Detroit Vesey’s an inclusive space that could become a landmark for the L.A. cycling community. Community is something hard to find in a city as sprawling as Los Angeles. Yet all of the makings for it are there. People like Erin who refuse to drive a car in favor of riding a bike, make it so.
