Vedangi Kulkarni: A Bold Ride Around the World - TWICE!

Welcome back to Zone2Speak, the podcast that shares stories about the world of cycling.  At just 19, Vedangi Kulkarni became the youngest woman to cycle around the world, riding solo across 14 countries and 29,000 kilometers — and she hasn’t slowed down since. In this episode of Zone2Speak, Vedangi shares the story behind that first wild ride and what pushed her to take on the challenge again in 2024, this time in pursuit of the world record. We talk about growing up in Pune, navigating solo travel as a South Asian woman, and how she handles fear, doubt, and physical limits with unshakable grit. Vedangi isn’t just breaking records — she’s breaking barriers and rewriting what adventure looks like. --- Follow Vedangi: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisisvedangi/  Substack Newsletter: https://theadventureshed.substack.com/   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thisisvedangi  --- 🎁 Discounts for Zone2Speak Listeners!
