'Bikerni' the Club for Women Bikers Are Spreading its Wings

BANGALORE:  A few years ago in 2011 Urvashi Patole started the ‘Bikerni’ club for the women who loves to ride.  Bangalore city and its women population have made the venture a huge success by showing their love for the machines. After four years now the club is all set to spread its wings to the other cities in the country like Chennai, Assam, Delhi, Maharashtra, Hyderabad and Pune, reports DECAN HERALD.

The Bangalore based club has started with a motto, ‘Mud for Makeup, Petrol for Perfume’. The club is an initiation for women empowerment which started when 12 women bikers went on a road trip from Pune to Leh. The Bangalore chapter officer Roshini S Miraskar states that “One of the best things about being part of this group is that the ladies can ride any bike that they want. As long as you have a two-wheeler (geared or non-geared), valid licence and a passion for riding, you are more than welcome to be a part of the club.

The ‘no men club’ has its way to meet the needs of its members. The members are allowed to choose what they want to ride. The admin Deepti Jacob said that “Each rider is different in the way she is and the way she rides. In order to accommodate everyone’s requirements, we have four types of rides. Such as ‘The City Meets’ take place every third Sunday of the month and are open to anyone who loves to ride even if one doesn’t own a bike. We pick different cafes and lounges to meet at each time and hang out. It’s for those who want to learn how to ride and helps them figure out the different situations that they have to deal with during a ride.” Once they pass this test, they are analyzed to see if they are fit for other rides such as ‘Day Rides’, ‘Over Nighters’ and Long Rides”.
