On women and motorcycles

Shirley Frakash meets female motorists for a conversation about riding motorcycles and men's reactions. She attempts to ride a scooter, but don't be afraid: It'll be a while before she gets a license

Is it my imagination or are there many more women cyclists lately? Every so often I decide to take the plunge and go get a license to drive a scooter. Scooters annoy me when I drive my car but they seem to be the most reasonable alternative in the aggressive Israeli reality on the road. Scooters and motorcycles are no longer a macho's territory. They are simply a necessity.

 

So, I went out to take a driving lesson and finally find the answer to the question: Who's in front?
