About Pedro
I am a vegan cyclist, full-time marketer, husband, father, and I am on a journey to inspire people worldwide. The bike changed my life, and now I want to understand how it's changing other people's lives.
At age 26, and after years of being an artist and art teacher, I borrowed a bike from a friend to get to work quicker and as a way to fight off depression.
One year later, I began clocking countless kilometers on the bike, racing criteriums, and transforming my mental and physical health. I never looked back and am now working in the cycling industry.
I continue my journey today as the host of the Ride To Success Podcast to take people on a learning journey to a more productive, creative, and active life through the power of the bike.
