The bicycle has the power to be an important tool in our global fight against climate change. Yet, racing our bikes across the world clearly has a negative impact on the environment. For years, Maghalie has felt a guilt towards this paradox. In this series, she decides to investigate what she can do as an athlete, and what we can do as an industry, to diminish our impact on the environment. — This podcast series is supported by The Unscented Company.

On this episode, Maghalie chats with Isabella Burczak, who is the "Cycling for All & Sustainability Manager” at the UCI.
The UCI, which is the International governing body in cycling, has the potential to be a key player in making cycling a more sustainable sport, because they are the ones making the rules on events, teams, calendar, technological advancements, and more. In fact, it is their goal to make cycling the more sustainable sport in the World. In this conversation, Maghalie asks about what are the key things the UCI is working on to make this goal happen and what are the biggest challenges they are facing.
