Background
Originating from Haripur in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Abbat completed her bachelor's degree specializing in Physical education.
Career
Her interest in cycling sparked in 2011 after observing a women's race where many competitors faced challenges maintaining balance. Despite early setbacks and falls, she honed her skills using her uncle's bicycle. Due to scarce training resources locally, she pursued her practice sessions in Lahore. By 2013, Sabia made history as the first female cyclist from the Hazara region to secure the National Cycling Championship title. Additionally, she has competed on behalf of Pakistan at the Asian Games.
