Today we get to speak with Saad Reza. He’s the reason I’ve been part of the Team Velocipede and rode my road-bike over 1500 miles in the better part of 2017. I was introduced to him as a cyclist back in 2016 and we’ve been friends ever since. Saad is the go-to-mentor and facilitator to all things cycling and family meetups. He talks about his love and passion for cycling over the years, from BMX, to mountain biking to road and gravel. Then we also talk about his profession as a Recruiter and Human Resources. Being an extrovert he keeps connected to folks that he recruited over a decade ago. And is really good at connecting and building relationships.So let’s listen in to this conversation between friends.
