This week on Zone2Speak, host Juliana talks with Saoirse Pottie, an adventure cyclist whose journeys redefine what it means to connect through riding.

From her solo crossing of Africa, where every pedal stroke brought lessons in resilience and self-trust, to a collective ride through South America that turned strangers into lifelong friends, Saoirse shares how cycling has become her language for exploration and belonging.

We dive into what it takes to travel alone through vast and unpredictable landscapes, how shared adventure can shape deeper human connection, and how Saoirse uses her experiences to inspire others, especially women, to step into the unknown, chase joy, and build community on two wheels.
