Can-Am: What would you say to women who lack the confidence to try something new, like riding?
I know some women might have a problem with confidence - I have my whole life, as well. In life in general, I’ve noticed something when someone wants to try something different (from the crowd). People will say, ‘Oh, are you crazy? You can’t do that,’ instead of encouraging them to give it a shot.
I think that (even) if you don’t succeed, at least you tried. You won’t grow old thinking, ‘Should I have done that?’
Can-Am: What advice would you give them then?
My advice to women, girls -and anyone really- is not to let anyone tell you how your life is going to be. If you wanna try the bike, try the bike. Take some lessons, you’ll get confidence and then, you’ll have a blast. And you know that advice is good for any walk of life.
