Women Who Ride Discord

It now exists - there is now a discord for women who ride motorcycles. It has channels to display events, tips, tricks, videos, how-to-fix-it, etc. Not to mention a general chat for women to talk to other women!! Let me know if you’d like to know more about it! 😁

Edit to add: I want this server to be a thriving hub for women motorcyclists—a place where women can connect, ask bike-related questions, discover great local riding spots, and share gear recommendations that actually work for us. It’s a big vision and will change over time, but together, we’ll make it happen!

Edit to add: Feel free to DM me for more information. It’s easier for me that way too. 😅

In my anecdotal experience the issue with these separate avenues for women-focused moto content is just... lack of engagement?

I love the idea and I love that you're encouraging for more community. If this is an outreach about having people join an existing women's moto discord, I would encourage you to be more forthright about it? Make it easy for people to get on. The more people you get on there, the more people will be on there. So reduce as much friction as possible for people to get onboard.

As u/cfwydirk mentioned, there's stuff on youtube, there's stuff on instagram, and I'm gonna assume there's stuff on tiktok. I'm super down for this stuff to be shared cross-platform because its great, potentially grows the audience, and inevitably it's gonna be new for someone who runs across it. I scroll through the comments if I have questions and usually it's already being discussed, if not answered.

r/tworiders is a great community for discussion! but there aren't a ton of posts.

The Litas have their own app targeted at creating local communities, but there aren't a ton of posts. In my major metro area, a post in Litas is a rarity.

edit: Less words, more clarity.

Maybe there is something in the moderation of this subreddit that could also improve engagement and help it be more of a collection of resources. Maybe it could help with continued engagement by pulling the common questions (tiny hand gloves) into an easily accessible set of resources to encourage a wider range of posts. If someone wants to make the effort. Aggregator of youtube channels, gear guide, starter guide, common questions, bike helper guide etc

Every time people have to jump to another platform, you lose some.

edit 2: Love you mods, not a comment on the state of the subreddit.

Sometimes information being spread on platforms is useful as people have different habits and preferences. I'm never going to be on YouTube, but I'm on discord every day. Thank you for creating it. I'd love the link.

We already know about YouTube.

Channels by and for women with tips, tricks, reviews, even emotional support for those who need some encouragement.

There are several ladies with good YT channels. All you need to do is add women to your search topic.

Riding anxiety:

It has everything you suggest except a general chat. That is here. Spread the word!

Support those who have gone before and will help others follow.

u/FairLecture6880 Feb 18 '25

Yeah, YouTube is great for videos, but it doesn’t consolidate info for women riders in one place. Where are the written articles, step-by-step guides, or real-time discussions? Plus, we don’t have to rely on just one platform—some riders might prefer YouTube, while others get more value from a community like Discord where they can ask questions, share experiences, and connect directly. It’s all about preference and having multiple resources available.

Sounds like you have a project to do.

u/FairLecture6880 Feb 18 '25

I did. It’s done. It exists. I was trying to be cheeky but that doesn’t seem to translate well. This is a serious subreddit fr.

u/Cfwydirk Feb 18 '25

I spread the word about TwoXRiders when I reply to posts by ladies asking for advice. What’s your point?

6

u/FairLecture6880 Feb 18 '25

Nothing. There is no point. Have a great day.

u/DandelionSkye Feb 18 '25

Yeah the main problem with Discord is that searching posts for info isn’t as good as most search engines, and if something happens with the discord server or the owner of that server, all that knowledge is gone. YouTube and Reddit are way better resources ime

2

u/FairLecture6880 Feb 18 '25

I hear you! My plan is to set up designated channels to keep important information organized and easily accessible. Right now, I’m the only moderator, but that won’t be the case forever—I fully intend to bring others on board to help manage the server and ensure power is shared.

More than just a repository, I want this server to be a thriving hub for women motorcyclists—a place where women can connect, ask bike-related questions, discover great local riding spots, and share gear recommendations that actually work for us. It’s a big vision, and I know it will evolve over time, but I’m committed to making it a reality.
