The event, organized by the Mayor of London, will see women from across the UK ride together to promote gender diversity in motorcycling.
What is the Lady Mayor Ride Out?
The Lady Mayor Ride Out is a group ride organized by the Greater London Authority in partnership with Triumph. It aims to highlight the role of women in motorcycling and encourage more women to take up the sport. The ride will take place in summer 2025, starting from central London and ending at a destination to be announced later.

Triumph provides logistical and organizational support, and will supply its motorcycles to participants who do not own their own bikes. The British brand will also offer safe-riding workshops before the ride.
Why is this event important?
According to a report by Visordown, the percentage of women riding motorcycles in the UK remains low. This initiative aims to promote equality and inspire a new generation. Triumph’s sponsorship reflects its commitment to diversity in the riding community.
Will similar events come to the Gulf?
Triumph has not announced plans to expand the initiative to the Middle East yet. However, the success of the event could pave the way for similar initiatives in Gulf countries, especially with growing interest in motorcycling among women in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
