The image of 1,433 women riders lined up together is already, in itself, an incredibly moving visual. Crossing the gender barrier lightly, not through preaching but through festival-like energy. You can feel the atmosphere and energy of that place. I think culture gets redrawn exactly through this kind of positive heat.

First time hearing of Midwest Women Riders — great that a community like this exists.

Choosing Rockford, Illinois, probably also factored in how easy it is to actually ride there.

Events chasing a Guinness record tend to make gathering people the whole point, but this one is honestly impressive.

With this many bikes riding together, I wonder how they managed safety within the formation.

At the level required for official certification, the course design must be strictly controlled.

Beating the 2016 Dubbo, Australia record of 1,002 by over 400 — that's a huge jump.

1.4x over 10 years isn't a simple apples-to-apples comparison, but it's clear the barrier to participation has come down.

1,433 women riding together in a group — that's a scale I'd love to see footage of.
