Now more than any other time in history, women are taking up motorcycle riding in record numbers. If you’ve found your way to this page because you're a woman thinking of getting into the sport, you're certainly not alone—one in four motorcycle riders on the road today is a woman!
Over the years, we’ve discovered that women often differ from men when it comes to their questions and concerns about riding. So we’ve put together the most comprehensive guide for women who are ready to venture into the world of motorcycling. We believe this collection of articles addresses all the questions a woman may have and the scenarios she may encounter when she’s considering becoming a motorcycle rider.
Sure, there are other guides out there, but like the rest of the WRN site, this guide is designed specifically for female riders.
The eight sections below address the most important aspects of getting into motorcycling. No matter where you are in the learning process, there’s a section that covers what you need to know. So what are you waiting for! The sooner you delve in and start learning, the sooner you'll be ready to experience the freedom of the open road on two wheels.
