Mark your calendars ladies, it is time to #FocusFemaleForward on Saturday, 1 May as women riders around the world will take to their motorcycles and scooters to “Just Ride!” for the 15th International Female Ride Day (IFRD). This synchronized global ride day makes an impact on women’s issues as female participants in over 120 countries, and six continents join in the movement.
“It has never been good enough to accept that women face barriers,” says IFRD founder Vicki Gray. “We can all play a part in enabling the success of women. IFRD has always provided an inclusive environment that fosters presence and accelerates kinship. Enabling and empowering women through motorcycling and as witnessed every IFRD - is not only the right thing to do, but essential to what matters for women, going forward.”
Since the introduction in 2007, IFRD’s globally synchronized “Just Ride!” momentum continues to advance the importance of women being well represented across all disciplines of the powersports industry. The movement places a spotlight of the diverse participation of women already engaging in powersports while inspiring other women to learn to ride and obtain their license.
Since IFRD 2021 comes as the world continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic those taking part are encouraged to enjoy the day within protocols and follow guidelines for social distancing to protect against the spread of COVID-19. As in 2020, all participants have access to the complete Coronavirus guidelines and ride planning tools on the IFRD website:
