Connections - Episode 010 - Gil Lavi - Craft, Cycling and Creative Resilience in NYC

Gil Lavi’s story blends design, resilience, and cycling into a creative journey rooted in New York City. As cofounder of RUBBER N’ ROAD, he uses the bike to channel focus, manage setbacks, and honor a connection to his heritage. For Gil, cycling is never just movement. It is craft, competition, and community. This episode reminds us that riding with purpose makes every pedal stroke mean more.
