Femmes et moto is an association that contributes to the evolution of the place of women in the world of motorcycling.
The association was born in 2022 under the impetus of Alice, the president, who wanted to offer a motorcycle festival exclusively for women. She wanted to offer, in France, as she had experienced in Germany and Italy, a time of gathering far from judgments and comparisons, where it's possible to share one's fears, as well as one's exploits.
Representing 20% of driving licenses, women need female role models in the motorcycle world, peer exchange and sisterhood.
It's a story that began two and a half years ago, when a number of our members started coming to L'Esprit M - Bar Resto moto, for a drink and an aperitif. Our discussions then led to our first collaboration. As a result, a day dedicated to female motorcyclists was held on March 1, 2023. On the program: mastering standing mobility around the motorcycle, how to get your bike up after a fall, taking part in a mecha-tutorial on the braking system, how to fill in a report in partnership with Mutuelle des Motards.
Here we are, less than a week away from the second edition of Femmes et Moto & Camp.
For me, it will be the first. I'll be there with my sister, as exhibitors, delighted to talk to you about L'Esprit M - Voyage à moto, the company I run, but also about travel in general. I'll be doing a workshop on preparing and loading your travel kit. In the evening, we'll also be there as participants, happy to be able to share and exchange views on our practices as bikers, and not only!
