I’m Going LIVE at the Women in Cycling Summit Series 2025

Hi everyone, I'm Pedro Couto Lopes, host of the Ride to Success podcast, and I'll be hosting a LIVE podcast recording at the upcoming Women In Cycling Summit Series 2025 event in Paris!

📅 25–26 September 2025 📍 Hectar Ferme Pilote, Paris, France

This won't be your average episode. In this special live format, we'll dive into real, challenging conversations around gender equity, industry culture, representation, and the future of cycling.

Got a topic you'd like us to tackle? Feel free to drop your ideas in the comments or DM me directly. 👇

Why this matters: The Ride to Success podcast has always been about amplifying voices across the cycling world — and at Summit Series 2025, we're taking that mission to the next level. This event is a crucial step toward achieving a 50% female workforce in the cycling industry by 2030 — and it's going to take all of us.

What to Expect:

• Engaging Speakers and workshops: Hear from women who are innovating in the cycling space and participate in sessions to learn from experts and get actionable takeaways.

• Networking: Meet new people, share ideas, and build relationships in a relaxed, collaborative environment.

• Sustainable environment: Hosted at the Hectar Pilot Farm on the outskirts of Paris, you will experience a farm-to-table environment with a low carbon footprint in an innovative agriculture space.

Key Highlights:

• Research Findings: Academic researchers from the University of Bristol highlight the connection between marketing, participation and ultimately, the workforce in mountain biking.

• Live Podcast Recording: The Ride to Success podcast will host a live recording featuring a panel debate. It is sure to be a lively discussion.

• Engineering Panel: We invite female engineers to take the stage and share their stories of how they got into engineering, to learn how we can influence STEM careers and encourage more young women to pursue them.

• Interactive Workshops: Partnering with BikeBusinessHub, we have experts leading workshops on recruiting and retaining women in the industry.

Join us in Paris. Be part of the movement. Let's side toward something bigger.

Who’s listening to the podcast?

I often get asked this question, and it always makes me nervous. The podcast is not yet one year old, and I feel people put unrealistic expectations on what can be achieved in just six months, basically working as one person band.

So, in the interest of transparency, let me reveal the data from the last 30 days on the podcast.

And where they are listening from…

Do you fancy being a guest on the show or sponsoring the podcast?

Emerging from the shadows of online recordings

So, I have set myself the objective of interviewing 24 leaders in the cycling industry, but the reality is that I am cold emailing companies, leaders and their marketing teams to get their attention.

It's my first visit to the EUROBIKE SHOW with the Ride To Success Podcast!

DM me if you want to have a chat or pick my brains (whatever will be left of them by the end of the day 😆anyway)

I will be hanging out in Halls 11.0 /11.1 and 12.0/12.1 during the day, but I am open for afterparty invites 😉

BTW - if we meet at EUROBIKE, don't offer me coffee; my energy levels will be in full hype mode from the get-go.  😆
