Resolution Race Q&A
Speakers for this event

Alice Lemkes
Alice Lemkes
Alice accelerated from commuter to cargo bike courier to homeless bikepacker in a short time after a series of books and blogs confirmed her gut feeling that there was more to living than panel carpet, panel ceiling, tubs of Nescafé, and local authority bureaucracy. Her first existential tour to Serbia in the middle of winter without a navigation aid has left her poor toes with life long damage. Nevertheless she persisted, and spends almost all free time (which is a lot as a phd student) on adventures alone and with friends seeking to cultivate more connected ways of being in the world. Easily convinced by even the silliest of plans, most latterly the Resolution Race.

Resolution Race was not a race in the traditional sense, but a demonstration of how far collective resolve, collaboration and kindness can take us in the race to save our planet.
