For Johnny Phan, becoming a father kickstarted a deep-dive identity exploration. A son of refugees, he wants more than ever to understand his family history, be proud of his Cambodian roots, and pass it on to his son. At 36, Johnny is twice the age of his fellow cyclists on the Cambodian National Team. With increasing awareness of aging and mortality, he’s training, riding, and learning about his heritage with a new sense of urgency. He knows his career as a cyclist has numbered days and that the stories of his parents’ past (who are his only connection to Cambodia) will die with them if they remain untold.
