Episode summary

In this episode, Laurène Philippot welcomes Alice Karsenti, who cycled 1500 km from Barcelona to Paris with a strong objective: to promote cycling by women and support the association Les Roues Libres.

Her challenge: 1 km ridden = €1 raised to finance a program aimed at women, to help them discover cycling and the cycle trades.

In this interview, Alice tells us about the genesis of this project, its preparation, the key moments on the road, and what cycling means to her: a tool for freedom, confidence, health… and commitment.
