Walking through Serpentine Wood, Kendal with Karen Gee: From Geography Graduate to Cycling Entrepreneur | Lake District Hiking Podcast

Join us for a stunning walk up Scout Scar in the Lake District with Karen Gee, founder of Cycle Sprog and self-proclaimed "accidental entrepreneur." What started as a frustrated search for children's cycling gloves fourteen years ago has grown into a thriving family cycling resource—all while Karen maintains her "double life" as a corporate project manager.

In this episode, Karen shares her unconventional journey from geography graduate to database designer to business owner, offering refreshingly honest advice about entrepreneurship, the importance of finding your niche, and why perfect Instagram families shouldn't be your benchmark. We also dive into practical cycling advice just in time for the holidays, including why you should never buy a Frozen-branded bike (seriously) and the magic of balance bikes.

Recorded on an unexpectedly warm September day, you'll hear us navigating gates, dodging golfers, and getting progressively more out of breath as we climb!

Perfect for:  Parents looking to get their kids cycling (or already cycling with children).  Aspiring entrepreneurs wondering if they can start something "on the side".  Anyone juggling multiple careers or passions.

Walk Location: Serpentine Wood, Kendal, Cumbria.
