In the picturesque spa town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, a significant sporting event sparked a transformative passion for Kate Auld. It was the 2014 Tour de France Grand Départ that whizzed through her town, igniting her interest in cycling. Auld describes the event as a party in her backyard, where the energy of the crowd and the thrill of the race pulled her into the world of cycling—a world she hadn't ventured into despite working for the London 2012 Olympics. This moment of community and celebration marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life, one centred around the joy and freedom of cycling.
In this episode on the Ride To Success podcast, Pedro Couto Lopes explores how Kate Auld fell in love with the bike and founded the Personal Cyclist to help and inspire people to feel confident on two wheels.
As an adult, Auld faced the same challenges and fears many face when taking up cycling later in life. The risks seemed greater, the stakes higher. She recounts the daunting task of reacquainting herself with a bike as a physical and psychological challenge. For those hesitant to start, Auld advises starting small and focusing on the enjoyment rather than the mechanics of cycling. She stresses the importance of personalising the experience, ensuring it's a joy rather than a chore.
Discover how Kate Auld’s story and work inspire many to take up cycling and embrace it as a path to personal freedom and community connection on the Ride To Success podcast with Pedro Couto Lopes.

In a candid conversation on the Ride To Success podcast, Australian cycling sensation Sarah Gigante shared her journey, from her initial pedal strokes to her aspirations beyond cycling racing. The conversation with Pedro Couto Lopes gives a glimpse into her story, which maps out her career and personal growth.
“the Tour de France, I think that's just made such a huge difference. Not only are so many more fans getting to see the sport, like new fans coming into the sport. But also I think maybe the most special part is the little kids that can see themselves racing one day.”
Future of Women's Cycling
Looking ahead, Gigante is optimistic about the future of women's cycling, particularly regarding inclusivity and global reach. She celebrates the progress made in women's cycling, crediting the increased visibility and support for creating a more inclusive and competitive environment that inspires the next generation of female cyclists.
"I mean, when I was a little kid, once I found out cycling was a sport, I didn't dream of riding in the Tour de France because it wasn't a thing. Like I barely watched the Tour de France and it wasn't because I didn't like watching cycling. I just couldn't relate to the men. I mean, it was cool that they had Tour and, you know, Cadel Evans was amazing. (...)So yeah to think that little girls can you know turn on the TV or go to the roadside in France and think they actually can be there one day it's just incredible”

Cycling, a sport known for its rigorous physical demands and scenic escapes, faces a persistent challenge far from the physical: diversity and inclusivity.
In a candid conversation on the Ride To Success Podcast, Miles Baker-Clarke, a seasoned marketer within the cycling industry, shares his insights and personal experiences, underscoring the pressing need for change with Pedro Couto Lopes.
"In my cycling club of 300+ people, there is only 1 person of colour"
Despite his deep love for cycling, Baker-Clarke is acutely aware of the sport's diversity problem. "In my club of 300+ people, there is no one of colour, apart from me" he states, highlighting a glaring issue that extends beyond his local cycling club to the cycling industry at large. The lack of representation is not merely a numbers game; it's about what those numbers signify—a barrier to entry and a sense of alienation for underrepresented communities.
