I always have a sense of pride and unity when I hear someone shout “Girl power!” when I’m riding or when a fellow female motorist approaches me to talk about motorcycles. There’s a sisterhood of riders out there and it’s growing. Riding isn’t just for the guys, it’s for everyone, and it’s events like International Female Ride Day (IFRD) that help spread awareness of the female demographic in motorcycling. IFRD is a globally celebrated event that encourages the worldwide female rider population, new and current, to get out and ride. And Indian Motorcycle is joining in to show its support for this year’s May 1, 2021 event.

Explore your local roads as a group or solo. Either way, enjoy the ride and raise awareness for female riders everywhere.

On Saturday, all Indian Motorcycle dealers will be handing out free Indian/IFRD co-branded neck gaiters and many dealers will host coordinated group rides. It doesn’t take much to incentivize motorcyclists to ride, but free event-themed swag and group rides with like-minded and adventurous riders are only more reason to get on a motorcycle. Call or visit your local Indian Motorcycle dealer for details.

“It’s exciting to have the support of Indian Motorcycle, and team up to encourage even more women to join the movement,” IFRD founder Vicki Gray said, “This year, women around the world will be active, riding in celebration, unity, and support of the female riding community more than ever before. No matter the vehicle, riding continues to be an exhilarating, liberating, and fulfilling activity for women of all skill levels. The female riding community continues to expand every year, and this is our day to celebrate.”

Photos are bound to be taken, so if you snap shots of your ride, post them on social with #IFRD2021, #FocusFemaleForward, and #InternationalFemaleRideDay hashtags so other riders can be inspired by the movement too. Make sure you tag @CycleWorld as well!

Whatever you ride, be it motorcycle, trike, ATV, UTV, or any other powersport vehicle—solo or in a group—just remember to celebrate on May 1 and make an awesome day of it. I have my Saturday blocked off for riding, so I hope to see you ladies on the road.

For guidance on how to celebrate the event and more information, check out the IFRD website.
