Cycle Gear’s Donates 10k to Women’s Coalition of Motorcyclists

To aid the Women’s Coalition of Motorcyclists (WMC) in their advocacy for and education of motorcycling women, Cycle Gear pledged 5% of their women’s motorcycle apparel sales throughout the month of may to the organization… totalling a whopping $10,000.

Diane Price, Tai Day, Andy Sills, and Jenny Lefferts took a trip to visit Cycle Gear’s headquarters in Benicia, CA, and happily accepted the oversized check. Who doesn’t dream of being handed a giant check for thousands of dollars?

How did WCM Board Chair Diane Price feel about this awesome donation? She said, “First and foremost, the WCM is truly grateful for the opportunity given by Cycle Gear and we look forward to our continued relationship. With this donation, the WCM is able to focus on increasing the ranks of female ridership.”

With women riders being the fastest growing section of the motorcycle industry, the timing is perfect.

Christine Parsley, Cycle Gear’s E-Commerce Marketing Manager, headed up the project and presented the ladies their check. Christine stated, “We at Cycle Gear are proud to continue our company’s 40 year tradition of supporting women in motorcycling.” Said Christine, “We look forward to a continuing relationship with the Women’s Coalition of Motorcyclists and we wholeheartedly support their efforts in promoting education, mentorship and advocacy for female motorcyclists.”
