Summary: |  | This video challenges a classic American icon: the rowdy male biker with his back seat bimbo. Five very different women motorcyclists share their passion for machinery, asphalt, and the wind in their hair. These women consider motorcycling a way of life, and their engaging stories illuminate issues of women's independence and self-reliance. You'll meet an 82 year-old great-grandmother who broke the gender barrier for female competitors in the 1930s, the entrepreneur who founded Harley Women magazine, and many other colorful personalities. Includes several fascinating historical sequences that are truly awe-inspiring: a single black woman rides alone, and fearlessly, throughout the segregated South in the 1930s, and two sisters who travel alone across America on unpaved and menacing roads in 1916. "She Lives to Ride" has been called "A winner from start to finish" Variety, "A sheer delight" L.A. Times, and "An exhilarating celebration" Boston Globe. Don't miss this gem--it will make you smile.
