Riding Jeans are so hard and so popular. I thought this would be a good topic for my next Facebook Live event. Bring your questions, I’ll even answer a few from any of the men out there who need help with jeans as well.
Yep. We Did.
According to this article in the New York Times, we are far less likely to be at fault on two wheels and four!
But compared with women, male drivers of cars and vans had twice the rate of fatal accidents per mile driven.
Male truck drivers had about four times the rate of women truckers, and men driving motorcycles almost 12 times the rate of women motorcyclists.
I’m not terribly surprised given the statistics I’ve read over the years from the NHTSA. I’m sure there are lots of exceptions to this rule where you may know a female rider that’s far more reckless than another male rider. But the overall trend seems to show that overall women are less likely to be as reckless.
I would say that far more women are safety conscious given the added responsibilities that many of us bear in our family lives. We know that as caregivers, wives, mothers, many people rely on us and we have to take extra precautions to be more safety-conscious overall. Whether it’s driving in a car, or riding on 2-3-4 wheels.
What I find fascinating is this part:
For bus drivers and bicycle riders, there was little difference between the sexes.
Wonder why the rates are so different between bus drivers and bicyclists?

I’ve decided to record new Facebook Live Event episodes for my podcast, so you can either join me online or listen afterward!
Season 2, Episode 10 is here: Common Gear Mistakes and How to Avoid Them. I recorded it live on Facebook two days ago.
You can also rewatch this event on my facebook page here. Although looking at me on video probably doesn’t help.
If you haven’t listened to Season 1 of my podcast, you can download and listen on iTunes or on my website here.

Saturday, April 25th at 7pm EAST How to Evaluate a Piece of Riding Gear
Wednesday, April 29th at 7pm EAST Motorcycle Gear Hacks
Where: Facebook.com/GearChic
Join me Wednesday night, I’m going to share some common gear mistakes you might be making. This idea has been swirling in my head for months, I finally decided to just schedule a 45 minute-1 hour talk about this.
And then we’ll have 15 minutes or so for QnA at the end.
Doesn’t matter if you’re experienced at riding, or new at riding.
Gear is fluid and so much of how it works and what it does for us depends on how you may use it or want it to work.
I’ll cover how wearing a helmet that isn’t designed for your riding position can be a negative or positive thing
The human aspect of wearing gear adds another layer of difficulty sometimes because when our gear doesnt do what we want it to do, it can be frustrating or a let down.
I’m going to give you the most common mistakes that I run into when I talk to customers about riding gear. Sometimes I’m right, and sometimes I’m wrong.
Feel free to post any questions here as well, but you can rsvp and post in the Facebook Event too.
