Hailing from the remote, high-altitude region of Gilgit-Baltistan—a place better known for its towering peaks than two wheels—Syra shares her remarkable journey. From being denied her rightful medals to navigating life as a female student in Lahore, her story is one of courage, resistance, and determination. Now returning to her hometown to relaunch Gilgit’s first bicycle school for women, Syra speaks candidly about her mission to foster peace, gender equity, and sustainable mobility in a country where such goals remain uphill battles.
