Ovarian Psyco-Cycles combine activism, cycling

Members of the feminist group Ovarian Psyco-Cycles ride bikes to propel awareness of issues affecting women of color and working class backgrounds.  A survivor of sexual abuse and domestic violence, Boyle Heights native De la X says she discovered a feeling of liberation while riding her bike home from work through jam-packed downtown Los Angeles.  “I had at that moment a brief taste of freedom. Just the ability to overcome things — it was like a metaphor for things we have to overcome as women of color daily.”  Get the story on Boyle Heights Beat.
