April is Women in Motorcycling Month!
Last Updated: April 1st, 2024
This month at TEAM Arizona is Women in Motorcycling Month. We celebrate the women who ride on two wheels (or three!). With the most female RiderCoaches in the Southwest, we understand the importance and value women bring to the motorcycling community.
The reality is that as long as there have been motorcycles, there have been women riding motorcycles. The number of women motorcycle operators in the U.S. has increased to about 7.2 million of about 27 million overall in 2009, according to the latest survey by the Motorcycle Industry Council.
To make it more relevant, nearly two out of every ten motorcycle riders you see on the road will be a woman. This information inspires manufacturers like Harley Davidson. “Learning to ride a motorcycle is one of the most exhilarating and empowering experiences in life,” said Claudia Garber, director of women’s marketing outreach at Harley-Davidson. “Women Riders Month celebrates women who’ve already found empowerment on the open road – but it also allows us to support the thousands of other women whose motorcycle dreams are still parked in the garage.”
Possibly the most interesting trend is that we’re experiencing a major jump in ridership by GEN-Y females. Do you know a woman who you think would make an outstanding motorcyclists? Tell her about TEAM Arizona and the Introduction to Motorcycling course or Basic RiderCourse.
We encourage all female riders to visit our Facebook page to post pictures and tell us why you like to ride. We’d love to have our Facebook page plastered with awesome pictures of you all!
