Global – Women motorcycle riders are set to “JUST RIDE!” for a globally synchronized International Female Ride Day of action on the 12th International Female Ride Day (IFRD) to simply to get out on bikes on that day.

Taking place on Saturday, 5th May, the aim is that women motorcycle enthusiasts around the world will join together to “Just Ride!” for the once-a-year global action in universal action, across all borders, cultures and on all forms of motorcycles.

Billed as the largest women’s motorcycling happening, the day spotlights and promotes female riders of all ages, all styles, and all brands of motorcycling.

IFRD can be enjoyed with a solo ride, a group ride, or with a few friends – either on or off-road. It is the most important, most unique occurrence for women in motorcycling on the planet.

The organisation says, “Women riders continue to fuel IFRD’s synergy and its integral role in building friendships and camaraderie while simultaneously inspiring women to continue riding or take up motorcycling. The 12th edition will once more see celebrations by renowned women’s motorcycle clubs, foundations, associations and individuals’ all taking their role to support IFRD’s global action for women in motorsport.”

There are weekend events, day events, off-road days, track days and national promotions all geared up in support of the first Saturday in May. Women will ride in unison, representing their country, culture and region.

Canada, USA, Iceland, India, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, Caribbean, England, Germany, The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia, Japan, China, Israel and many more take part.

IFRD is a pivotal happening for women’s empowerment and equality in motorcycling. It continues to compel not only women riders, but leading global motorsport associations, and manufacturers toward representing women at all levels of the activity.

Now referred to as a “movement” by its participants, its action of “Just Ride!” was created in 2007 by Vicki Gray, a lifetime motorcycling advocate, road and race instructor – with the intent to profile and highlight the many diverse women enjoying the activity of motorcycling.

IFRD was created to restate the fact that women are an existing motorsport demographic and have enjoyed motorcycling since its invention. IFRD equally inspires women to take up motorcycling, to meet other women riders while building camaraderie across all cultures around the world and is managed under the MOTORESS® canopy.
