OC Women’s Spotlight – Erin Shacklette

How long have you been in cycling?

I’ve cycled for fun all my life on and off but it wasn’t until 2016 or 2017 when I got my first new road bike. 

How did you get into cycling?

I didn’t have a vehicle and needed a way to get around aside from public transit. Once I got my road bike  I slowly started riding further and further for more than utilitarian reasons and enjoyed the speed and freedom I felt. 

What is your favorite discipline?

Road Cycling.
