(2021 - 2022) Launched in 2024, Friction Shift is a six-episode bike-focused series that seeks to examine how modern-day power structures and the standards built within them influence the personal agency of all kinds of cyclists in a changing world.

All of this has us examining the structures and systems that ushered in this unique moment in our collective history.
