This Thursday there’s a whole new adventure planned that will please the discerning woman traveller. Curated by event company Bucket List, it features a talk by women solo travellers, who will share their experiences, offer travel hacks and ideas, and get women networking with each other. “We’ll give tips on how to handle breakdowns if you’re riding alone, how to pick up the bike in case you have a fall, and a refresher training session,” shares Sonya Chandra, the operations head of the organisation.

"When we started our riding events seven years ago, we focused on adventure biking trips. Then, we realised that a lot of the women who accompanied their husbands would also want to ride bikes. So, we started the coaching academy for women that is run by a women-only team. The aim is to build a women’s riders community so that they can travel together and zero down on safe destination options," shares co-founder Baljeet Gujral.
