IFRD kicked-off in Canada and immediately become an International happening. It makes one request of women: “JUST RIDE!” Get on your bikes, be out there and be visible. With an eight year recorded success, its compelling call to action brings female rider participation across all the world’s regions on one day, the first Saturday in May.

“We have been celebrating IFRD religiously since 2011 when the Bikerni was first formed,” states Urvashi Patole, Bikerni Founder. “I first got in touch with Vicki in 2011 through Facebook; she sent me an IFRD t-shirt and since then our alliance has continued to grow. Every year women bikers across India celebrate IFRD with aplomb. This year, Vicki is going to be in India with us! What more could we ask for? We are super excited!” adds Urvashi.  Bikerni Board Member and West Zone Moderator Sheetal Bidaye added, “The number of female motorcyclists in India has been on a consistent rise and IFRD has been celebrated across states as if it were a religion of women bikers. Although this year it’s even more special as the founder, Vicki Gray shall be joining the celebrations herself! Which is so inspiring and shall motivate the country’s female riders even more!”

Leading up to and following the Bikerni IFRD celebrations, Vicki will continue to explore India’s beauty and culture by motorcycle.  She has partnered with Bikerni board member, long distance endurance rider and India tour expert, Chithra Priya, for the program.  Chithra and Vicki met in Toronto during Chithra’s visit to Canada on IFRD 2012.  “I’m delighted to be under Chithra’s expert assistance! I’m further thrilled with the anticipation of joining Bikerni friends and to experiencing the adventurous, fascinating, motorcycling culture of India!” says Vicki.
