Mile Post # 7 Women On Wheels

As the number of women riders continue to grow within the motorcycle population, organizations that reflect their needs and perspectives grow as well.

One of those organization is the Women on Wheels.



Women On Wheels® was founded in California by an avid woman motorcyclist in 1982. Its purpose was, and still is, to unite all women motorcycle enthusiasts, whether they ride their own machine, are motorcycle passengers or enthusiasts, or future motorcyclists. WOW members are located throughout the United States, Canada, and several other countries. WOW has nearly 3000 members and is growing strong!


WOW members experience the fun and excitement of riding together, supporting each other, socializing, sharing adventures, and helping special charities -- all while projecting a brighter image of motorcycling.

In fact, promoting a positive image of motorcyclists to the non-motorcycling public is a top priority. Women On Wheels® was awarded the Hazel Kolb Brighter Image Award in 1993, by the American Motorcyclist Association -- an honor we're all especially proud of!

It's about ... riding ... laughing ... eating ... friends ... learning ... supporting and helping one another ... participating with chapters ... fun ... fund raising for needy and worthwhile projects ... growing ... sharing ...

WOW also aims to meet the following goals:

1. Assist the motorcycling community and the public at large in becoming aware that women are serious motorcyclists and deserve recognition as such.

2. Encourage further developments within the motorcycle industry to meet women's needs for equipment, clothing and accessories.

3. Make available information on safe riding techniques, and encourage participation in motorcycle safety courses.

4. Promote a positive image of motorcyclists, and of women as motorcyclists, through educating the news media and the general public, thereby challenging the untrue stereotypes that are commonly presented.

5. Enhance the sheer enjoyment of motorcycling, and encourage women by showing them they have limitless potential and can accomplish any goal or dream.

Each year WOW has an international ride in and this year Greenville South Carolina is the destination.
