14,000+ Women Await the Start of the First Female Motorbike Relay Across The World
 
‘Women Riders World Relay’ Marks Launch on International Women's Day weekend’at Ace Cafe London: 
Started as an idea to attempt a relay around the world led by women on motorbikes founder, Hayley Bell, shared it on social media in late August last year, and is has snowballed into a movement spanning over 100 countries across the world. As of today, over 14,000 women worldwide have responded to her call to show the industry the force behind the female biker market.
  
‘Women Riders World Relay’ (WRWR), starting on 27th February 2019 from John O’Groats, Scotland and continues across the world over the next 12 months via a baton being passed from woman to woman, country to country. The route across the UK and Ireland is taking place over 12 days and has already inspired and motivated over 200 women participants, known as Guardians, to carry the hand-carved baton across the first stretch of the relay to the Ace.
      
To mark the launch of the relay in the UK and to participate in the momentus global campaign, WRWR are hosting two events on International Women’s Day weekend.
 
● WRWR have partnered with the renowned Ace Cafe in London to host the official WRWR launch event on Saturday 9th March . The relay will stop by the Cafe in the afternoon and a range of inspirational female speakers from the motorbike industry are lined up throughout the day to celebrate and unite women.
 
● The relay will begin the final day in the UK on Sunday 10th March at Sittingbourne Speedway where WRWR have organised a hands-on, off road motorbike experience for all attendees. The relay and baton will leave that afternoon to make their way to the next country, France.
 
Gear up and show your support by attending the events being hosted. Everybody is welcome to come and celebrate the launch of Women Riders World Relay.

Please note that notwithstanding the opening times, autojumbles are generally morning events and therefore tend to die down in the early afternoon. The finishing time (in this case 2pm) is a guide and the event may conclude earlier. We advise that anyone interested in visiting the event arrives prior to 12pm to avoid disappointment. Plus, don’t forget the early bird catches the worm!

BIKESAFE

BikeSafe, a police-led initiative that runs across the country, will be returning to the Manchester Bike Show. Visit them on site no. C5.

BikeSafe deliver educational workshops aimed at motorcyclists who are looking to improve their riding safety. They look at the system of motorcycle control, hazard perception and the main causations of motorcycle collisions, focusing on “what if” type scenarios and options available to us as riders so we can keep ourselves safe.

Workshops are typically one day long (some are spread over two days). The first half of the workshop is theory based, the second half centres on an observed ride out on a 1-1 or 1-2 basis, during which police officers or police volunteers will observe your riding and offer structured feedback. They also signpost riders to post-test training which will hopefully plug skill gaps and improve rider safety. Some forces also offer bridging the gap weekend workshops, which include a second day, led by the Institute of Advanced Motorists.

The 2019 show will feature major manufacturers and over 100 trade exhibitors, so be sure to check out the full exhibitor list.
