Someone in the OWS community/ Mountain Biking Ladies Facebook Group asked how to regain confidence after a series of falls left her scared on every trail, unable to ride hills she used to enjoy, and about to sell her bike.

This episode is for her — and for every MTB woman who has ever felt that frozen, fearful feeling and wondered if they're just not cut out for this. Dr. Liz Koch, DPT breaks down what's actually happening when fear takes over on the bike, the three specific physical deficits that create bike fear in beginner and intermediate riders, and a clear path back — off the bike first, then back on it.

The fear isn't a mental weakness. It's a physical capacity gap. And that changes everything about how you fix it.
