Jacob Crossley Episode 3

In this heartwarming episode, we chat with London cyclist and Chain Gang Cyclists member Jacob Crossley, whose story shows just how powerful friendship and connection can be during life’s toughest moments. Jacob opens up about navigating OCD, anxiety, and the loss of his father, and how leaning into therapy — and into the people around him — helped him slowly unfold again.

He shares how cycling became a bridge back to himself, offering laughter on group rides, unexpected conversations, and the kind of support you only find when a community truly shows up for you. Jacob talks about the friends who pushed him up hills, waited for him on hard days, and reminded him he doesn’t have to carry everything alone. This episode is a gentle, uplifting look at how friendship, movement, and honest conversations can help us heal in ways we never expect.
