About The Founder
RASHMI TAMBE
Hello, I am Rashmi Tambe – a motorcyclist from Seattle, USA. I am the founder, editor, designer, admin, communications manager and social media strategist of the Global Women Who Ride Project – a media and communications platform for motorcyclists around the world.
Some other things about me:
1. My day job used to be working as a software engineer at a Redmond-based company. I love solving interesting problems, writing code, designing software and working with data. I am currently on a one year break in between jobs travelling around the world and working on Global Women Who Ride.
2. I’ve been a motorcyclist for more than ten years. I’ve owned and ridden many bikes during this time. I’ve ridden solo cross-country across North America, Europe and New Zealand, and most recently across Baja, Mexico. [Ride Reports]
3. I am a freelance writer and have been published in the AMA’s official magazine American Motorcyclist. I am also a product reviewer for American Motorcyclist. [Published Work]
4. I was a co-founder of Seattle’s first feminist makerspace – the Seattle Attic, which for its two years of existence was a woman-centric workspace where Seattle-based geeks can get together to build things and learn from each other.
5. I am available for freelance writing engagements and to speak about motorcycle travel. You can reach me at admin@globalwomenwhoride.com.

I am grateful for information in my American Magazine, Guest Column: GOING GLOBAL.
I’m very impressed with this project. Until I accessed the site and read the interviews of so many women around the globe who are involved so many ways with motorcyles I felt vaguely informed. Although I have read ‘The Rugged Road’, some of ‘Juniper’s Travel’, as well as other articles, it is amazing to be enlightened by the women around the world participating in the sport of motorcycles.
Being an older woman (71) and still having a passion for motorcycling it excites me to realize more women are entering the sport today. Thank you for placing your endeavors to promote a positive for women globaly. I’m certain many women will be inspired and find the freedom motorcyles allow in a woman’s life, whether young or old.
Best Regards,
Sandy
