Baljeet, a Bandra-based rider, gives every woman a chance to tick off motorcycle riding from her bucket list. She started training camps for women to ride the Royal Enfield in 2014, after observing that it was mostly men participating in adventure motorcycle trips across India. She found that women were interested but didn't know where to start. She covers the basics in two days, and personalises the techniques to suit every body type, age and height. The fee includes bike, fuel and other costs. An advanced two-day course teach you to ride on different terrains and through traffic. After that, you can join the gang for breakfast rides and riding holidays. So far, Baljeet has trained over 10,000 women.

RECOMMENDED BY: Manjiri Pupala, 32, a Mumbai-based actor, says "I had no prior experience. I found it challenging and wanted to give up halfway, but Baljeet ensured that I make it till the end. This also gave me the confidence to go on trips and connected me to a community of women riders."
