4. SOUNDBITE (English) Lucy Monyenye, lawyer and biker:
"Over the years, we've grown to having over a hundred members and the numbers keep growing and reducing just because at times life happens, you're pregnant, you don't want to ride or other things, so you drop off and then you get back into the spot and that's why it is registered for continuity purposes, so that we can have some form of institutional memory around the club."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Lucy Monyenye, lawyer and biker:
"The common misconceptions about riders, female riders, in Kenya is that one is that we are rebellious. We're not, we're very harmonious, peace loving people. The other one is that we're tomboys. I don't think we are, if you can look behind me you can see they're all girls and behaving like girls, and we just enjoy riding the same way you enjoy golfing or all the other sports that exist. Yes, it's a nice hobby to have."

"Among ourselves, if someone's had a baby or someone's going through something and things are tough, we visit the family. So apart from just biking, we socialise, we hang out together. There's a group of people who like gelato, I'm not in that group, so different things, if they appeal to you, you've got people within the group that feel your vibe."

"When I sit on a motorbike, I feel powerful. Of course everyone thinks riding is for men, and I am one of those women who are here to show you that everyone can do it, and the community has made me love biking more, because when I was joining, I didn't even know there was a community, I just happened to join and I saw other women doing the same, and I loved the community."

18. SOUNDBITE (English) Kisianan Kenana, scientist and biker:
"Most people think being a female biker you're slower than the men, you can't do long distances, you get tired quickly, and also you're a tomboy, you're a tomboy, you're stubborn, and you just love adrenaline,. Yes, the last part might be true, but the rest (shakes her head)."

20. SOUNDBITE (English) Micheal Othieno, tax consultant and biker:
"The difference between women and us is that the women seek out training more and more and more, a lot more, and have become better at it, so much so that when they remove their helmet and you actually see there's dreadlocks or there's braids under that helmet, you can really tell that they've taken it up and they're as good as men, some even better, so it is a trend that we're seeing, it's always been there, but yes, there are a lot more embracing it."
