Since the incident, he has struggled to spend time alone in the woods and has been overcome with self-doubt but has found solace and support in the Seattle cycling community, which reignited his passion for the sport. The Right to Joy follows Izzy’s journey as he pedals beyond his fears and becomes a vocal advocate for diversity and trans inclusion within cycling communities across the country.
