More and more women are no longer sitting on the back of the bike, but instead taking the drivers seat. With new models coming out every year, the manufacturers have realized that they not only have to appeal to the male market, but also have to provide products that appeal to the female market. Three articles, written within a week of each other, show just how strong this market is.
The Post and Courier in Charleston, has an article written by a Wevonneda Minis, she writes about three women who ride for very different reasons.
