About The Bonk Babes
The Bonk Babes is the sister show to The Bonk Bros Podcast, hosted by cyclists Danni Shrosbree, Grace Washburn, and Esma Taylor. Together, they bring an honest, funny, and deeply personal take on the world of women’s cycling—both on the road and the gravel. From sharing their cycling backgrounds and debating road versus gravel preferences to unpacking cultural differences in cycling lingo between the UK and the US, the hosts dive into the stories that shape the sport. They explore the evolving landscape of women’s cycling, the unique challenges of racing as privateers, and the balance between individual grit and team dynamics. Listeners will hear candid anecdotes about race-day highs and lows, gear struggles (especially the need for better women’s kit), encounters with everything from steep climbs to unexpected dogs on the trail, and reflections on how aging shapes performance and perspective. At its heart, The Bonk Babes celebrates the camaraderie, empathy, and support that fuel the cycling community—while keeping the excitement alive for the races and challenges yet to come.
