Meet Leyla Saghir of Velo Route Cycling


Today we’d like to introduce you to Leyla Saghir.
 

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
It all started back in 2019, I wanted to try something different other than going to the gym or lifting weights. So, I started riding bike, and it helped me so much in many areas of my life that I was not happy with, so it became my therapy. 

With time I felt in love with cycling and the community, so decided to open a multi-brand cycling boutique that focuses in cycling apparel and accessories. 

I also have been doing Real Estate since 2012

Today I do both the store and Real Estate. 

And my most important job is to be a mom. 🥰🥰 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been easy, nothing is easy, but it doesn’t mean is impossible. 

The biggest struggle was maintaining myself focused, determined, and motivated. 

While working towards the goal, many personal things happened in my life. 

So, the struggle was to be able to manage those obstacles and been able to keep working. 

So, the most important thing is that no matter what happens around us while working on achieving a goal is to not lose focus, determination, and motivation, 

Lift yourself back up, be resilient, and keep looking forward, never backwards.
