On May 7th, 2022, Women across the world will be riding their motorcycles for the 16th annual International Female Ride Day! For 16 years the IFRD has “shined a spotlight on women riders and females in the motorsports arena!”
Nearly 20% of riders are women and that number has been growing over the years and I do not expect that growth to end anytime soon. Coming out of the pandemic more people and especially women are feeling empowered to do the things that they really want.
The goals of the event are:
- Highlight the number of women who ride.
- Encourage other women to take up the activity
- Raise awareness about women’s equality in motorsports
- Celebrate women’s advancement in motorsports and powersports
- Ride for accelerated gender parity.
Are you going to participate? If so, submit your photos to the IFRD Photo gallery for a chance to participate in the photo challenge sweepstakes. And while there are no prizes here, you could post to the comments section to show us what you were doing!
Ride on, Ride safe
