Angie

Angie, a disabled, mad, queer, trans and nonbinary light-skinned Chinese-Peruvian settler to the homelands of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlil̓wətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations is laying on their side on a grassy field with dandelions, with arms stretched out around a hand drawing of their old green bike with a yellow milk crate, the Mean Green Machine.

Angie’s pedaling journey started with this mighty little bike gifted by a friend 3 years ago. They did not know how to ride it, but boy, were they stoked to learn! Partly because they needed to travel long distances to receive support for their daily needs but what they yearned to do the most was move their expansive body!

Riding with the Mean Green Machine has brought Angie deeper connection to their body, the land and friends in the community. Of course, it’s also brought them to dog parks to pet some pups. Angie is grateful for what this journey has brought for them and they want to support others in their riding journeys!
